Robinson generated 10 points (5-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT) and 11 rebounds across 17 minutes during the Spurs' 80-72 loss to the Hawks in a Las Vegas Summer League consolation game Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Robinson capped off his stint in the desert with a solid showing, and his rebounding total paced the Spurs for the night. The veteran big man acquitted himself well during his relatively limited allotment of playing time in Las Vegas, averaging 8.3 points and 6.8 rebounds across 14.0 minutes over four games, a body of work preceded by 11.3 points, 6.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 17.0 minutes per three Salt Lake City League tilts. The 28-year-old will hope to parlay the solid body of work overall into a training camp invite at minimum.

Robinson (knee) finished with 14 points (6-7 FG, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and a block over 15 minutes in Monday's summer league game against the Raptors.
EDGE Analysis
Robinson failed to play in Sunday's matchup due to a right knee injury, but he looked to be at full strength during Monday's clash. He shot the ball with efficiency on the day and proved valuable on the glass, paving the way to a 93-90 victory.

Robinson will be held out of the Spurs' Las Vegas Summer League matchup Sunday versus the Hornets due to a right knee injury, Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
EDGE Analysis
The severity of Robinson's injury isn't clear, but the 28-year-old wasn't likely to receive a long look in summer league anyway, given his status as an elder statesman and non-roster player on the Spurs' entry in Las Vegas. Robinson, a 2012 lottery pick of the Kings, last saw regular-season NBA action in 2016-17 as a member of the Lakers.

Robinson piled up 17 points (7-11 FG, 3-8 FT), 10 rebounds, three blocks, two assists and a steal in the 112-103 loss Sunday to Lakeland.
EDGE Analysis
It was Robinson's first action in the NBA or it's affiliate system since the 2016-17 season. John Bohannon has created a vicegrip around the starting center job, but it's possible Robinson could push for more playing time next season depending on how the Red Claws opt to build their lineup.

Robinson was waived by the Hawks on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Robinson signed a non-guaranteed contract with Atlanta in August, which was seen mainly as a training-camp invitation. It appears he was unable make enough of an impression to land on Atlanta's final roster, and will now be forced to find a new opportunity. He last played for the Lakers in the 2016-17 seasons, but spent his most recent season with BC Khimki of the Russian VTB United League.

Robinson agreed Monday with the Hawks on a non-guaranteed contract, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The terms of Robinson's pact with Atlanta aren't fully known, but it's likely that the 2012 lottery pick is being brought in on what amounts to little more than a training-camp invitation. Since entering the league, Robinson has bounced around between six different teams, with his most recent NBA action coming with the Lakers in the 2016-17 campaign. He spent the most recent season with BC Khimki of the Russian VTB United League, appearing in 20 EuroLeague contests and averaging 8.2 points and 5.9 rebounds in 15.6 minutes per game.

Robinson has agreed to a deal with Khimki Moscow of the Euroleague on Tuesday, freelance reporter David Pick reports.
EDGE Analysis
The former No. 5 pick out of Kansas in the 2012 NBA Draft seemingly couldn't find any NBA suitors for the upcoming season. He appeared in 48 games with the Lakers last season, posting 5.0 points and 4.6 rebounds across 11.7 minutes per game. Going overseas will likely allow the 26-year-old more playing time, which should help his development should he decide to pursue an NBA career again in the future.

Robinson supplied 12 points (6-9 FG) and three rebounds across 14 minutes in a 119-104 loss to the Timberwolves on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
While Robinson provided the Lakers with an offensive boost off the bench during his time on the court, it wasn't all good for the former lottery pick, as he accrued three fouls and three turnovers along the way. Considering he hadn't played in the previous three games, it's possible Robinson wouldn't have even gotten off the bench Thursday if Ivica Zubac hadn't exited early with a high-ankle sprain. That being said, given the severity of Zubac's injury along with the Lakers' status as a lottery-bound team, it wouldn't be surprising if the team shut down Zubac, which would likely open up consistent run with the second unit for Robinson.

Robinson posted 16 points (7-8 FG, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and one assist over 10 minutes in Tuesday's 133-109 loss to the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
With the Lakers trailing 70-40 at the half, Luke Walton elected to move to the bench in the second half, allowing Robinson to show off a bit in his ten minutes on the court, hitting seven of his eight shots from the floor. Robinson has only played in 40 games this season, and can hardly be considered a viable prospect in any format, but the Lakers need to start exploring what they have on the bench and the journeyman forward has some upside. He currently has little to no fantasy value.
