What happened

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.

Why it matters

“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.

Common ground

“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.” That comes as new video footage, appearing to be from a fan emerged on social media.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
