Raptors Sign Orlando Robinson to Two-Way Contract
The Toronto Raptors have officially signed center Orlando Robinson to a two-way contract, marking a significant move in their roster development. This decision comes after Robinson completed two ten-day contracts with the team, showcasing his potential and skills on the court. Prior to joining the Raptors, Robinson had split time between the Sacramento Kings and their G League affiliate, after missing the preseason due to an MCL sprain.
During his stint with the Raptors, Robinson averaged 3.7 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 0.4 assists over seven games, reflecting his adaptability and readiness to contribute. He has previously played with the Miami Heat, where he averaged 3.2 points and 3.1 rebounds across 67 games, providing valuable experience to his skill set.
- Performance Highlights:
- 3.7 points per game
- 2.7 rebounds per game
- 11.1 minutes per game during his tenure with the Raptors
- Previous Experience:
- Played 67 games with the Miami Heat before signing with the Raptors
- Demonstrated skills in creating plays and defending effectively
This move fills a crucial gap for the Raptors, particularly after the recent trade that sent Kelly Olynyk to the New Orleans Pelicans. With Jakob Poeltl dealing with injuries this season, Robinson's presence reinforces the center position, providing additional depth and options for the Raptors as they continue to evaluate their roster for future seasons.
