Under Mitchell Robinson's post, leave the following emoji. And in response to that, Robinson said the following, I tried, brother. I didn't want this to happen. Hopefully, the truth comes out at some point. I'm gonna miss you, big dog. Keep being great.
What does that mean? I think we all know what that means. New York wanted to keep Robinson. Robinson wanted to stay with The Knicks. Unfortunately, James Dolan made that decree that New York was not gonna go into the second apron. And because The Knicks couldn't go into the second apron, they were not able to pay Robinson enough money to get him to stay with New York. That means he had to take the biggest bag available and join that team. And in this situation, that was from the Boston Celtics. And that's why he ended up leaving and not staying with New York. The truth in this situation, that's exactly what it is. There's nothing else. Robinson wanted to stay, The Knicks wanted him to stay, but they were not going to pay him enough money, while also going into the second apron, in order to get that to happen. And that's why this situation is exactly the way it is. Where Robinson goes and joins the Ops, the Boston Celtics. But that isn't the only mystery we had to deal with, during this past postseason. We also had to deal with another mystery.
How did Mitchell Robinson injure that hand? We all have our theories. We have our assumptions. But really, no one knows exactly what happened and why Mitchell Robinson injured himself. Until right now.
Recently, he revealed what led to that hand injury and everything he was going through. Take a look at this following update. Mitchell Robinson finally broke his silence on his hand injury, and he gave us this following information. According to Robinson, and be prepared, this is a very long statement, but I need to read it because it clears up everything. Listen to this.
According to Mitchell Robinson, I would like to address the concerns regarding my finger, which was actually my knuckle. To provide some context, I had been dealing with personal issues, relationship problems, and internal struggles, which affected my performance on the basketball court.
In this league, I simply follow the instructions given to me. Y'all have seen the videos of everything. I'm very capable of doing. Moving forward to the Eastern Conference Finals, after our victory in Cleveland, everything seemed to be going well.
We were celebrating our achievement. But for me, things took a turn for the worst. As many of you know, I am a compassionate and private person who enjoys listening to country music. Without going into details about my upbringing, I am extremely protective of my siblings, who I care for deeply. Upon returning to New York, I received unexpected phone calls, and my family members contacted me, informing me that my youngest brother had been involved in a car accident. I did not see any of the messages until I arrived home late at night. As the eldest sibling, I felt a deep sense of concern, and I immediately went into panic mode. I began returning calls and texts, and when I FaceTimed my brother, I thought he was deceased. He was wearing a neck brace, unresponsive and not speaking. I broke down in tears, feeling like a failure for not being able to protect my siblings. Being 910 miles away, I felt helpless. In a moment of frustration, I banged my hand on my truck.
