Mitchell Robinson was not suspended, but his wallet is a little bit lighter.
He was fined $50K for his role in a heated fracas with Dyson Daniels during the Knicks’ Game 6 win over the Hawks 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.
Robinson posted a vulgar video on his Instagram story trolling Daniels after the game.
Daniels was fined $25K.
As OG Anunoby took a free throw with the Knicks leading by 50 points with just under five minutes left in the second quarter, Daniels yanked Robinson’s arm.
Robinson subsequently got in Daniels’ face, and Onyeka Okongwu came over and tried to pull Robinson away from Daniels.
That’s when it ignited.
Players and coaches from both teams ran in and separated the two, but Robinson tried to go back for more.
Knicks coach Mike Brown fell while trying to get in Robinson’s way.
Referee Kevin Scott fell in the beginning of the kerfuffle.
Both Robinson and Daniels were ejected.
