Knicks center Mitchell Robinson has been fined $50K and Hawks guard Dyson Daniels has been docked $25K for their roles in an on-court altercation during New York’s series-clinching victory on Thursday, the NBA announced in a press release (Twitter link).

According to the league, Robinson’s harsher penalty “takes into account his inappropriate post on social media in reference to the incident” following the game.

The two players got tangled up during a free throw attempt by AND Anunoby with 4:39 left in the second quarter of the Knicks’ blowout win (YouTube link). Both Robinson and Daniels were determined to have escalated the situation, ultimately leading to their ejections.

Daniels and Robinson had been going at each other throughout the six-game first-round series. Robinson received an unsportsmanlike technical in Game 2, when he committed a moving screen on Daniels and then walked over the Australian guard, who was knocked to the ground (YouTube link).

Robinson is earning a little under $13MM in the final year of his contract, while Daniels is making $7.7MM in 2025/26 before his five-year, $125MM rookie scale extension kicks in next season.
