Robinson will start at point guard Friday, the Denver Post's Chris Dempsey reports. Ty Lawson was a late scratch with an ankle injury, making Robinson a solid option in daily leagues. Lawson is day-to-day, so Robinson's run as the starter will likely be short lived.

Robinson is averaging just 13.3 minutes on the court over Denver's first four games of the season. Robinson has proven that he can put up solid numbers when given enough time on the court, but that's not currently happening in Denver which may stem from the fact that he's coming off a major knee injury from last season. Even so, his role off the bench behind Ty Lawson and Randy Foye isn't allowing for significant time on the court and the 30-year-old won't have much to offer unless this dynamic changes.

Robinson will not play in Thursday's preseason game against the Warriors, Chris Dempsey of the Denver Post reports. Robinson, who returned to action last Friday, will get the night off Thursday, as the team continues to be cautious in bringing him back from a torn ACL suffered in January.

Robinson (knee) will play in Friday's preseason game and will be on a 15-minute limit, the Denver Post's Chris Dempsey reports. After he sat out Wednesday's game, the expectation was that he would take the floor Friday, and that will indeed be the case, albeit on a minutes cap. He figures to see 15-25 minutes off the bench as instant offense at point guard.

Robinson (knee) won't play in the Nuggets' preseason game Wednesday, but he is expected to play in the team's third exhibition Friday in Phoenix, the Denver Post's Chris Dempsey reports. It's good to hear he's close to playing in a preseason game, as he hadn't been cleared for 5-on-5 last week. He'll work as a backup point guard option off the bench this season.

Robinson (knee) is yet to be cleared for 5-on-5 action, the Denver Post reports. Robinson, who tore his ACL in January, reported to camp but will be brought along slowly as he continues to rehab his knee. He's yet to be cleared for 5-on-5 drills, but the expectation is that will come within the next few weeks. Depending upon how slowly the team works him back into form, Robinson could miss the start of the regular season, though a prolonged absence is not expected.

The Nuggets announced that Nate Robinson has exercised his player option for next season. He was having a solid season with the Nuggets last year, but his ACL tear really forced his hand to not hit free agency. Robinson had surgery back on Jan. 31, so he will at least have an outside chance of being ready for the 2014 season opener. Of course, fantasy owners shouldn't be targeting him since it will likely take some time before he's 100 percent.

Nate Robinson will exercise his $2.1 million player option to stay with the Nuggets next season. The 30-year-old guard is recovering from ACL surgery but he said he will "for sure" be ready for training camp, and he'll have plenty of motivation in a contract year. He's recently been promoting his autobiography, Heart Over Height, an appropriate title for the 5'9" three-time NBA Slam Dunk champion.

Nate Robinson (ACL surgery) is planning on returning to the Nuggets for the 2014-15 season. Robinson has a $2.1 million player option that he will have to exercise in order to return to the Nuggets and it sounds as if he's planning on doing so. When asked if he'd be ready for training camp, Robinson answered, "Yeah, for sure." While Robinson could be a decent option in deeper leagues next season, he won't be helping any fantasy squads this season.

Nate Robinson had surgery on Friday evening to repair a torn left ACL. The injury came on Wednesday and Robinson jogged back to the locker room. The Nuggets said Nate had an ACL sprain on Thursday, so technically their diagnosis is correct since a complete tear is considered a Grade III sprain. Robinson will be out for the rest of the season and his start to the 2014-15 season could be in jeopardy. Evan Fournier should pick up the majority of his 19.4 minutes per game and is worth a long look in standard leagues.
