  "account": "The Boston Celtics announced that Mitchell Robinson will not be playing in their upcoming game against the Orlando Magic on Sunday. The reason behind Robinson's absence is due to rest. The team is preparing for a series of back-to-back games in the near future, which makes it a common practice to give players like Robinson a night off. Robinson has been a consistent performer this season, appearing in all five games so far. Despite his injury history, managing his playing time is seen as a smart and proactive approach while he is healthy at the beginning of the season. At present, Robinson has averaged 20 minutes per game, contributing 6.6 points and 4.6 rebounds on average. His teammate Devin Carter is also absent for the game on Sunday, as he has yet to make his debut in an NBA regular-season match.",
