Unbelievable: Former New York knicks Wide Receiver Returns with Determined Comeback…
TORONTO — Mitchell Robinson has thought about the big return for a while now. On Wednesday night, he could no longer hide his excitement.
The New York Knicks center is getting his truck back. Flashing a picture of the pickup — it is a shade of blue bordering on purple with massive silver rims — Robinson’s eyes lit up. This is his joy. It has been away, being showcased at events by the company that lent him the vehicle, for too long.
The vehicle, which more resembles a Monster Truck than an F-150, changes everything. His plans for the weekend, once he gets back from this road trip: pick up his baby and take some friends to the concert of country star Zach Bryan in Belmont Park, N.Y. Robinson said he is more of a Morgan Wallen guy, but a Bryan show will be a good night.
Of course, there was another, less anticipated return, too. Robinson played 12 minutes Wednesday in the Knicks’ 145-101 annihilation of the Toronto Raptors. It was the first time he played in an NBA game in nearly four months after recovering from ankle surgery.
“Isaiah (Hartenstein) has done great all year. Jericho (Sims) stepped in. Precious (Achiuwa) stepped in,” Knicks guard Miles “Deuce” McBride said. “But having Mitch back there as a defensive anchor, it’s huge for us. Especially as a defensive-minded guard, just knowing I have somebody back there that can protect the rim.
