Mitchell Robinson News, Rumors, Updates - Boston Celtics

Effective at both ends Sunday Robinson delivered 12 points (6-6 FG, 0-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, four steals and a block across 18 minutes in Sunday's 117-97 win over the Bucks.

Impact Robinson produced exceptional defensive value in limited action but also looked efficient on offense, making all six of his shots and scoring in double digits just for the second time this season. While he's losing the battle for the Celtics' starting center spot to Neemias Queta, Robinson has excellent per-minute production. His rebounding, defensive production, and field-goal efficiency make him intriguing in category formats, though his limited workload and free-throw struggles remain significant limitations.

Cleared to play Sunday Robinson (illness) is available for Sunday's game against Milwaukee.

Impact Robinson popped up on the injury report due to an illness. However, it won't keep him off the floor against Milwaukee. Robinson's presence will likely mean fewer minutes for Luka Garza.

Questionable to play Sunday Robinson (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game versus Milwaukee, Bobby Krivitsky of Forbes.com reports.

Impact Robinson isn't feeling well, so he may not be available against the Bucks, which would mark his second absence of the 2026-27 campaign. If Robinson can't suit up, it should mean more minutes for Luka Garza behind Neemias Queta.

Full stat line Wednesday Robinson provided three points (1-8 FG, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 20 minutes during Wednesday's 109-102 victory over the Bucks.

Impact After opening the year as a starter, Robinson has now come off the bench in back-to-back games. Although he remains worth watching in fantasy leagues, it appears Neemias Queta is beginning to pull away with the team's top center spot.

Returns Monday Robinson returned to Monday's game against the Rockets with 5:47 remaining in the second quarter, per the broadcast.

Impact Robinson headed back to the locker room in the first quarter with a left thumb sprain. He returned to the bench shortly thereafter and appears to be good to go for the remainder of the contest.

Impact Robinson exited Monday's contest in the first quarter with a left thumb sprain. However, the big man is expected to check back in.

Exits to locker room Robinson (undisclosed) exited to the locker room in the first quarter of Monday's game against the Rockets, Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact It's unclear exactly why Robinson headed back to the locker room, though he can be considered questionable to return until more information comes to light. If he's unable to return, Luka Garza would likely see increased burn.

NOVEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Coming off bench Monday Robinson (rest) won't start Monday's game against the Rockets, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.

Impact After sitting out Sunday's 108-97 win over Orlando to rest, Robinson will play and come off the bench for the first time in 2026-27. Neemias Queta will get a second consecutive start while Luka Garza will likely see his minutes reduced substantially.

NOVEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Available to play Robinson (rest) is not listed on the Celtics' injury report ahead of Monday's game against Houston.

Impact Robinson's absence from the injury report suggests he'll be available Monday. His potential return would bolster Boston's frontcourt depth, though his minutes and role will be worth monitoring.

Celtics injury report: Mitchell Robinson listed for Magic game Sunday The Celtics are in a stretch of eight games in 13 days as they open a busy November schedule.

NOVEMBER 1 • MASSLIVE.COM

Downgraded to out Robinson (rest) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Magic.

Impact Robinson has been downgraded from questionable to out and will miss the first half of Boston's upcoming back-to-back set. He'll likely be able to suit up Monday in Houston.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Sunday Robinson (rest) is questionable for Sunday's game in Orlando, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

Impact Sunday's game will be the first of a back-to-back set, so Robinson might get scheduled for a maintenance day. If he's forced to the sidelines, Neemias Queta would likely start, and Luka Garza could see a bump in minutes.

Scores seven points Robinson closed Tuesday's 125-124 overtime win over the Nets with seven points (3-4 FG, 1-4 FT), five rebounds and one steal over 25 minutes.

Impact Robinson started at center but delivered a relatively quiet performance, collecting five rebounds without recording a blocked shot. He also struggled at the charity stripe, converting just one of four attempts. Robinson continues to share frontcourt minutes with Neemias Queta and Luka Garza, limiting his fantasy upside.

Pulls down four boards Robinson accumulated four points (2-4 FG), four rebounds, two assists and one block across 22 minutes during Friday's 107-103 victory over the Knicks.

Impact Robinson twisted his ankle during his season debut Tuesday in Detroit, so it was encouraging to see him head into this contest without an injury designation. The 28-year-old won Boston's starting job at center in favor of Neemias Queta at training camp, but the two big men split the center minutes right down the middle Friday and could continue to do so going forward.

Quiet in starting role Robinson posted four points (2-2 FG, 0-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal in 18 minutes during Tuesday's 121-113 loss to the Pistons.

Impact Robinson was given the starting nod for the season opener, supplanting Neemias Queta. Despite the promotion, Robinson still played just 18 minutes, providing very little outside of his three combined steals and blocks. Luka Garza also featured in the rotation, logging eight minutes off the bench. Given that all three could spend time at the center spot, it's hard to know who should be prioritized in fantasy. For now, let's work under the assumption that Queta will play the most minutes, perhaps providing him with the safest floor.

Draws start at center Robinson will open the season as the starting center Tuesday against Detroit, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.

Impact Robinson was considered the favorite to start and officially wins the job for the season opener. He's had trouble staying healthy in the past, so it will be interesting to see how the minutes are divvied up between him and Neemias Queta.

OCTOBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

On track to play Tuesday Robinson (rest) is expected to play Tuesday versus Detroit.

Impact Mitchell got the night off in Friday's 125-120 preseason overtime win over Philadelphia but is anticipated to suit up Tuesday against the Pistons to kick off the 2026-27 campaign. The 28-year-old, who signed with the Celtics during the offseason, spent his entire career with the Knicks since entering the NBA in 2018, averaging 7.5 points, 8.0 rebounds and 1.7 blocks over 23.4 minutes per contest in 397 regular-season games, including 215 starts. Mitchell has had issues staying healthy, and he's also not the most consistent offensive contributor. However, he's as good as it gets as a rebounder and shot-blocker.

OCTOBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting out Friday Robinson (rest) won't play in Friday's preseason game against the 76ers, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.

Impact Robinson and the rest of Boston's regulars won't play in the final exhibition but should be good to go for Tuesday's regular-season opener against the Pistons. Robinson produced 12 points (5-5 FG, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, three blocks and an assist over 17 minutes in Wednesday's 114-93 preseason win over the Hornets.

OCTOBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Three rejections in preseason win Robinson produced 12 points (5-5 FG, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, three blocks and an assist over 17 minutes in Wednesday's preseason win over the Hornets.

Impact The long-time Knick got the start at center while Neemias Queta and Luka Garza both came off the bench, but it was Queta (24 minutes) who ended up seeing more court time on the night. How the Celtics split the workload at center between the three will be one of the key storylines for the team to begin the season, but Robinson isn't likely to see a hefty workload as his new team tries to keep him healthy. Over 60 regular-season games in 2025-26 -- the most he'd played since 2021-22 -- as part of New York's title run, the 28-year-old averaged 5.7 points, 8.8 boards and 2.1 combined blocks and steals in 19.6 minutes a contest.
