Knicks' Mitchell Robinson Assumes Babysitter Duty in Viral Moment

It was Kids Day at MSG, and Josh Hart’s son partook by showing up on the bench near the end of the game. With the contest looking to be in hand, it was a cute moment that quickly turned viral.

With New York trying to close out the game, head coach Mike Brown turned back to his regulars for the final few possessions of the game. That meant Hart had to check back in, which unexpectedly turned Robinson into a babysitter on the bench.

Hart hurriedly handed his son, Haze, to Robinson, who looked on in disbelief and utter confusion in a hilarious viral moment.

Robinson, who is shooting a historically poor percentage from the free throw line this season, doesn’t look as nervous stepping to the charity stripe as he did accepting Haze on his lap with Hart running to the scorer’s table to check in.

He eventually received some help, passing his teammate’s son off for what would have been his third assist of the afternoon had it counted on the box score.

Robinson stuffed the stat sheet against the Magic, grabbing a team-high 13 rebounds, including eight on the offensive end, to go with six points, one steal and one block.

Good thing the New York center is an impact performer on the court with his ability to control the paint with his presence as a rim protector and rebounder, because being a full-time babysitter doesn’t look to be something in his future.
