NBA Communications: New York Knicks center-forward Mitchell Robinson has been fined $50,000 and Atlanta Hawks guard Dyson Daniels has been fined $25,000 for their roles in an on-court altercation, it was announced today by James Jones, Executive Vice President, Head of Basketball Operations. With 4:39 remaining in the second quarter of the Knicks' 140-89 victory over the Hawks in Game 6 of their first-round playoff series on April 30 at State Farm Arena, Robinson and Daniels became entangled while battling for position during a free throw attempt. Both players escalated the altercation with Robinson continuing to aggressively pursue Daniels after the players had been separated. The altercation resulted in both players being assessed technical fouls and ejected.

Malik Brown: Dyson on the team continuing to trust the process over the last two seasons: “It’s not all going to happen in one year. You got to build towards something. If you look at how we were last year and compared to this year, we took a step forward. I just think the biggest thing is the learning experience guys gained from this and we know how physical and what it's going to be like in the playoffs now.”

Knicks center Mitchell Robinson opened up about his mental health after he and Hawks guard Dyson Daniels were both ejected for fighting in Game 6 of their first-round playoff series Thursday night. “Knew something was gone happen,” Robinson wrote in a Facebook post after the Knicks’ 140-89 series-clinching win — and the largest win in a playoff game in franchise history. “My mental just not the same I’m just lost in the world at the moment.” Robinson also reshared his pregame post that said, “Trying so hard to be calm.”

Kevin Chouinard: Hawks missing lots of players tonight. For tonight’s game at Miami: Mo Gueye (right shoulder inflammation) is questionable. Nickeil Alexander-Walker (right great toe sprain) is out. Dyson Daniels (left great toe sprain) is out. Jalen Johnson (rest) is out. Jonathan Kuminga (left knee injury management) is out. Jock Landale (right high ankle sprain) is out. CJ McCollum (rest) is out. Onyeka Okongwu (left index finger sprain) is out. Gabe Vincent (left knee inflammation) is out.

Ira Winderman: Hawks are listing almost the entire rotation (Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Jalen Johnson, Dyson Daniels, Jonathan Kuminga, CJ McCollum, Onyeka Okongwu) as questionable for Sunday at Heat, as if they are considering their seeding options.

Kevin Chouinard: Dyson Daniels, postgame: “There are all those memes about Atlanta being in the Play-In Tournament, so I'm just glad we got out of all that, but the job is not done."

Dash Daniels is eyeing a move away from United, and the South East Melbourne Phoenix have emerged as the favourite to land the Next Star. The 18-year-old is one of Australia's budding NBA prospects and the younger brother of Dyson Daniels; he averaged 4.1 points and 2.4 rebounds per game for United. The Victorian has met with the Phoenix, and the expectation is they're the frontrunner to add him to their program.
