Mitchell Robinson was not suspended, but his wallet is a little bit lighter.
The Knicks center was fined $50K for his role in a heated fracas with Dyson Daniels during the Knicks’ Game 6 series-clinching win over the Hawks on Thursday night at State Farm Arena.
“The amount of Robinson’s fine takes into account his inappropriate post on social media in reference to the incident postgame,” the league said in a statement.
