The NBA fined New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson 50,000 and Atlanta Hawks guard Dyson Daniels 25,000 for their involvement in an on-court altercation during Game 6 of their first-round playoff series. The incident occurred with 4:39 remaining in the second quarter of New York's 140-89 victory at State Farm Arena on April 30. Robinson and Daniels became entangled while competing for position during a free throw attempt, and the confrontation escalated after the two players had already been separated.
Robinson continued to aggressively pursue Daniels following intervention by game officials. Both players were assessed technical fouls and ejected. Robinson's larger fine reflects an additional factor beyond his on-court conduct. The league cited an inappropriate social media post he made referencing the altercation following the game.
