OKLAHOMA CITY — Knicks rookie center Mitchell Robinson figures to get a warm welcome Friday, when he returns to his hometown of New Orleans for the first time as an NBA player.
In fact, his high school, Chalmette High, will play a matinee game at Smoothie King Arena to honor Robinson’s big moment before the Knicks face the Pelicans.
Robinson told The Post he’s mulling whether to attend the high-school game or rest at his hotel room for his first NBA meeting against Anthony Davis.
However, before New Orleans, Robinson had to get past a brick blue wall named Steven Adams, the Thunder’s muscular center, in a Wednesday night matchup.
