Mitchell Robinson trolled Dyson Daniels with Instagram post after ejection

Mitchell Robinson had a pointed question for Dyson Daniels after Thursday night’s double ejection in Game 6 of the first-round playoff series between the New York Knicks and Atlanta Hawks.

The tense moment unfolded in the second quarter at State Farm Arena, where the Hawks were already trailing by 49 points in what became a historic dismantling as the Knicks ultimately closed out the series 4-2 to advance.

As players boxed out during a free throw by Knicks forward OG Anunoby, Daniels appeared to elbow Robinson before pulling his shoulder, triggering an immediate confrontation. Shoves quickly spread across both benches, sending a referee to the floor in the chaos.

Officials stepped in and ejected both players.

After the game, Robinson kept the exchange alive on social media. He posted a meme from the AI sensation Kiki Energy on his Instagram story, set to the song “Do you ever get tired” by King Willonius.

The deliberate choice used the track’s taunting message to suggest Daniels had grown weary of the blowout and acted out of frustration. The pointed troll added a sharp edge of rivalry to the physical series, even as the Knicks moved forward in the postseason.
