Mitchell Robinson failed to make his typical impact at both ends of the court in the Knicks’ successive road losses over the weekend, dealing with foul trouble in both Milwaukee and Cleveland.

Robinson totaled only 41 minutes while picking up five fouls in each of the two games, scoring five points in 20 minutes Friday night’s loss against the Bucks and four in 21 minutes in Sunday’s loss to Donovan Mitchell and the Cavaliers that leveled the Knicks’ overall record to 3-3.

Robinson, who signed a four-year contract worth $60 million in the offseason, hasn’t fouled out in any of the Knicks’ six games. But he’s been assessed five fouls in three of them, also including the team’s season-opening overtime loss in Memphis.

Thus, his five-foul games have occurred in each of the Knicks’ three losses, with the 7-foot center averaging 4.3 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.3 blocked shots in just 18 minutes per game.

In the Knicks’ three wins against the Pistons, the Magic and the Hornets, Robinson has posted 10.3 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.7 blocks over 30 minutes per game.

The early-season foul issues have led to Robinson playing fewer minutes overall through six games than versatile backup center Isaiah Hartenstein. The free-agent signing has recorded 9.2 points and 8.0 rebounds in 25 minutes per appearance. He has been among the key reasons the Knicks ranked second in the NBA through Sunday’s action in bench scoring with 44.5 points per game.

“He’s been terrific. We knew he would be,” Tom Thibodeau said Sunday of Hartenstein, who signed a two-year contract worth $16 million as a free agent in July. “He gives you rim protection. He can shoot, he can pass. I thought our bench played really well [in Cleveland], particularly in the first half, sort of got us going, but then obviously we didn’t play well down the stretch.”

The Knicks, who will face Atlanta at home on Wednesday, led Sunday’s game by nine points through three quarters, but they were outscored 37-15 over the final 12 minutes. Robinson and Julius Randle checked into the game for Hartenstein and Obi Toppin with the Knicks still clinging to a 99-98 lead with 7:25 remaining, but Cleveland closed out the game with a 21-7 run over the final 5:20.

After opening the season by hitting 15 of his first 17 field-goal attempts (88.2 percent) during the Knicks’ 3-1 start, Robinson connected on just 4-for-11 from the floor (36.4 percent) during the winless two-game trip.

Before Friday’ loss to the Bucks, Thibodeau had praised the 24-year-old Robinson’s mindset and improved health after gradually working his way back last season from a foot injury suffered in 2020.

“I think he’s grown. I think this summer was very productive, and the fall was very productive. And his health, I think, was the big thing,” Thibodeau said. “He’s put a lot of work in. He gets there early. He’s staying late. He’s studying. But I think it’s all been a process for him coming into the league really with no college background, and then just building and learning through his experiences.

“I think, in general, the big thing is he was always able to get by with his athleticism. Obviously, it’s a great attribute. I think now he has a clearer understanding. He anticipates. He’s played against these teams several times now. He understands the tendencies of the players, the teams, I think he understands what we’re trying to do. He’s communicating. He’s the eyes of the defense. He’s the back line. So he’s done a terrific job for us.”

At least when he’s avoided foul trouble and stayed on the court.
