Overview

  • NBA head of basketball operations James Jones announced Friday that Robinson was fined $50,000 and Daniels $25,000 for their roles in the on-court altercation.
  • The confrontation started with 4:39 left in the second quarter after an OG Anunoby free throw, during a box-out that escalated into a scrum and led to both players being ejected.
  • The league said Robinson’s larger fine reflected an inappropriate post on social media after the game, and outlets reported he had reposted a profane video on Instagram.
  • The scuffle occurred during New York’s 140-89 series-clinching win, which included a 47-point halftime lead that set an NBA playoff record for largest lead at the break.
  • No suspensions were issued, so Robinson remains available as the Knicks move on to the Eastern Conference semifinals against either the Celtics or the 76ers.
