Upon not joining Paul George and Mike Conley in their Boston Celtics introductory press conference, it was revealed that Mitchell Robinson's brother was tragically hit by a car while out for a jogging.
The Boston Celtics formally introduced their latest additions ahead of the upcoming NBA season. Yet despite the appearances of Paul George and Mike Conley, the team's newest marquee big man has been absent from the press.
Mitchell Robinson, Boston's major addition to strengthen its frontcourt after his 2026 NBA title run with the New York Knicks, was a no-show at Tuesday's presser. Per reports, the veteran missed the event due to personal reasons.
Apparently, an unfortunate event involving Mitchell has hindered what was supposed to be his first official day as a Celtic.
Mitchell Robinson's brother involved in an accident
Mitchell Robinson announced that his brother was involved in an accident early Tuesday morning.
Robinson dropped a Facebook post and shared a picture of his brother, Zeek, with a caption: "Prayers for my little brother, my dawg can’t catch a break."
It was revealed that Robinson's brother was hit by a car while out jogging.
Robinson is the oldest of his siblings, and his close bond with his family is well known.
Robinson notably fractured his right hand during the New York Knicks' playoff run. It was later revealed that the injury occurred after he struck his truck in frustration upon learning that his youngest brother had been severely injured in a car accident.
So far, there has been no clear update about his brother's current recovery status after the latest accident.
