Toronto Raptors Re-Sign Orlando Robinson to Second 10-Day Contract
The Toronto Raptors have officially re-signed center Orlando Robinson to a second 10-day contract, continuing to bolster their roster as they face injury challenges. Robinson, who originally signed his first contract with the Raptors that covered from January 18 to January 27, has shown promise during his brief tenure with the team. In his first stint, he participated in three games, averaging 2.7 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 11.0 minutes per game.
In his latest performances, Robinson demonstrated his potential with notable statistics, including scoring four points, securing six rebounds, and recording two blocks in a single game against the Atlanta Hawks. He had a different performance against the New Orleans Pelicans, contributing four points and one rebound in 11 minutes of game time. His continued development of the Raptors’ schemes was highlighted by head coach Darko Rajakovic, indicating a strong interest in retaining him beyond this current contract.
Robinson had initially been signed after being waived by the Sacramento Kings on January 7 and opened the season with that team. Throughout his NBA career, he has accumulated averages of 2.3 points and 1.8 rebounds across 12 games played this season. With this second signing, Robinson is set to earn $119,972 for the duration of his contract, which will cover the Raptors' next five games through February 6.
Key Statistics:
- First Contract Period: January 18-27, 2025
- Games Played in First Stint: 3
- Averages during First Contract: 2.7 points, 2.3 rebounds, 11.0 minutes
- Notable Game Performance: 4 points, 6 rebounds, 2 blocks vs Atlanta Hawks
- Contract Earnings: $119,972 for the second 10-day deal
If the Raptors decide they want to keep Robinson beyond his current contract, they will need to sign him for the remainder of the season since NBA rules prohibit players from signing three 10-day contracts with the same team in one season.
