Mitchell Robinson’s comments on starting makes Celtics’ choice even easier

During media day at the Auerbach Center, Boston Celtics center Mitchell Robinson stated that he does not mind whether he starts or comes off the bench. Robinson explained that he has previously played as both a starter and a reserve, noting that the specific role does not bother him.

Robinson, a former New York Knicks center, joined Boston after helping the Knicks capture a championship last season. His willingness to accept a bench role gives head coach Joe Mazzulla the option to retain Neemias Queta in the starting lineup to open the season.
