Overview
- The Boston Celtics officially announced the signing on Tuesday and the team said it would not disclose contract terms in its press release.
- ESPN's Shams Charania has reported the deal is for three years and $47.4 million with a player option in the third season.
- Robinson is being valued for elite offensive rebounding and rim protection after averaging about 5.7 points, 8.8 rebounds and 1.2 blocks while shooting over 72% in 60 games last season.
- Coverage and team sources say the Knicks were unable to retain Robinson because owner James Dolan's refusal to go past the NBA's second luxury‑tax apron limited New York's payroll flexibility.
- Teammate reactions and fan commentary have already followed the move, including an Instagram Story from Josh Hart calling Robinson 'an opp' and predictions of a hostile reception when he returns to Madison Square Garden.
