The Sacramento Kings may pursue Mitchell Robinson in free agency according to a new report from the New York Post.

“Sources around the league have pegged Sacramento as a threat to pry Mitchell Robinson away in free agency. Kings GM Scott Perry has long been a fan of Robinson after drafting him in 2018 as a member of the Knicks front office.”

This is Robinson’s 8th season in the NBA, all with the Knicks. His career averages are 7.5 points, 8 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks. He played in 60 games for the Knicks this season, averaging 5.7 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks. He is currently averaging 5.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, and .8 blocks for Mike Brown’s New York Knicks in the playoffs.

Robinson is on the last year of his deal. He is making $12.9 million this season and becomes an unrestricted free agent after the season is over.

Should the Kings sign him with Domantas Sabonis on the roster, minutes next season might be tough to find for Maxime Raynaud.
