Going Deeper - Mitchell Robinson
Mitchell Robinson, drafted by the Knicks in 2018, has built his reputation as one of the league’s most effective rim protectors and rebounders. Known for his defensive presence, shot-blocking, and dominance on the offensive glass, he anchors the paint while finishing efficiently around the rim on dunks and put-backs. Injuries have often limited his availability, including stretches last season, but when healthy he makes a clear impact defensively and on the boards. Heading into the 2025–26 season, Robinson’s focus will be on staying healthy and consistent, while continuing to provide the Knicks with interior defense, rebounding, and energy in a complementary role alongside Karl-Anthony Towns in the frontcourt.
Abu Dhabi Games
The 2025 NBA Abu Dhabi Games kick off a series of preseason NBA Global Games, with teams traveling to Canada and Macau in addition to Abu Dhabi. This season marks the fourth consecutive year the league has visited Abu Dhabi, where basketball continues to deepen its impact and strong relationship with the region. Recently, Team USA played two exhibition games in the UAE before going on to win a fifth straight Olympic gold medal in Paris. In 2023, Team USA also held an exhibition in Abu Dhabi ahead of the FIBA World Cup.
Interest in the NBA abroad has never been higher. The league’s increased focus on basketball’s global development has paid dividends—the last seven NBA MVP awards have been won by international players. With many of the league’s new stars hailing from outside the United States, the NBA has steadily expanded its global presence, staging more games overseas each year. Upcoming stops include Mexico City in November 2025, followed by London and Berlin in January 2026.
