Jalen Brunson Gets Honest About Former Knicks Teammate Joining Celtics
Jalen Brunson addressed former teammate Mitchell Robinson, leaving the Knicks and signing with the Boston Celtics.
Jalen Brunson, a key player for the New York Knicks, expressed his feelings about Mitchell Robinson joining the Boston Celtics. Robinson, once a significant member of the Knicks' championship-winning squad, has moved to the Celtics. Brunson, while acknowledging the loss, was positive about seeing his former teammate advance. He also welcomed Andre Drummond, the new Celtic teammate of Robinson.
Brunson had seen Drummond from a distance but will now get to know him as a teammate. Drummond, who played for the Detroit Pistons, Brooklyn Nets, and Philadelphia 76ers, has a successful career with two All-Star Game selections and four seasons leading the league in rebounding. The Knicks, despite losing Robinson, have signed Drummond on a one-year, $3.9 million deal to fill the void left by the center.
The Knicks and Celtics square off on opening night at Madison Square Garden, with Drummond facing his former team.
