Sent to G League Robinson was assigned to the Sioux Falls Skyforce of the G League on Saturday, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Robinson had spent most of January up with the NBA Heat, appearing in six games but averaging just 3.0 minutes per contest. He'll assume a prominent role with the Skyforce.

Recalled to Miami Miami recalled Robinson (ankle) from the G League's Sioux Falls Skyforce on Saturday.

Impact On the heels of a 41-point eruption in Friday's G League win over Birmingham, Robinson will rejoin Miami in advance of Monday's game against Houston. The 23-year-old owns a minus-0.2 net rating across 214 minutes of NBA action this season.

Rejoins Heat The Heat recalled Robinson from the G League's Sioux Falls Skyforce on Monday, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Miami is going to be shorthanded for Monday's game against the Clippers, so Robinson will provide some depth at the end of the bench. Robinson has made 13 appearances for Miami this season with averages of 6.1 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 16.2 minutes.

Headed to G League The Heat assigned Robinson to the Sioux Falls Skyforce of the G League on Thursday, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Robinson has played just once total minute across Miami's last four contests, so his absence won't affect the team's rotation. The second-year big man should receive extended playing time while in the G League.

Returning to bench Robinson will head to the bench with Bam Adebayo (hip) healthy and starting Monday against Minnesota.

Impact Robinson was functioning as a pseudo-starter across Miami's last five contests, averaging 4.2 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 15.8 minutes per game. He'll return to backup duties Monday, forming a platoon with Kevin Love, and to a lesser extent Thomas Bryant, behind Adebayo.

Limited production in start Robinson put up one point (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and two rebounds over 14 minutes in Thursday's 124-116 loss to Chicago.

Impact After promising performances in his first two starts, Robinson has since cooled off, seeing his minutes gradually decrease as he splits time at center with Thomas Bryant. He has averaged 8.3 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 0.7 blocks and 0.5 steals across 21.7 minutes per game in his six starts, but he will likely return to the third-string role once Bam Adebayo (hip) is cleared to return.

First career double-double in win Robinson ended Wednesday's 112-103 win over the Raptors with 15 points (5-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals over 33 minutes.

Impact Robinson finished with a plus-27 point differential -- second to Duncan Robinson (plus-33) -- and tied with Caleb Martin for the most rebounds on the Heat. It was the second straight game Robinson started at center with Bam Adebayo sidelined with a hip injury and the former has now scored 15-plus points in each start. Robinson should continue to get plenty of minutes in the short-term with Adebayo not set to return until at least next Friday.

DECEMBER 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Plays well in starting role Robinson racked up 16 points (7-11 FG, 2-2 3Pt), five rebounds and three assists in 29 minutes during Saturday's 144-129 loss to Indiana.

Impact Bam Adebayo missed Saturday's contest due to a hip injury, giving Robinson the chance to make his first start of the campaign. Robinson took advantage of the opportunity, posting a season-high point total on an efficient shooting line that including a perfect 2-for-2 mark from beyond the arc. The big man has drained all four of his three-point attempts this season and was a respectable but not prolific deep shooter in college, so it will be interesting to see how much of that is part of his NBA repertoire. With Adebayo ruled out until at least next Friday, Robinson should get an extended opportunity to make an impression for at least a few more games.

DECEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Draws start Saturday Robinson will join the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Pacers.

Impact Bam Adebayo will not play Saturday due to his lingering hip issue, and he'll also miss Wednesday's game against Toronto. Thomas Bryant hasn't made the most of his opportunities in recent games, so Robinson has a big chance in front of him to impress.

Sent to G League Robinson was sent to the G League on Thursday, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Robinson saw increased run during Wednesday's win over the Cavaliers, as Bam Adebayo (hip) was out. The starting center is questionable again, and it's unclear if the organization plans to call Robinson back up if Adebayo sits.

NOVEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Shines in victory Wednesday Robinson amassed 14 points (6-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal over 28 minutes during Wednesday's 129-96 victory over the Cavaliers.

Impact Robinson played a starring role off the bench in the blowout victory, outplaying fill-in starter Thomas Bryant. With Bam Adebayo (hip) sidelined, it was Robinson who took full advantage of the situation. While it does appear as though he is the third-string center right now, common sense says that he should usurp Bryant at some point. Until then, he can be left alone in all standard formats.

Garbage time special Monday Robinson totaled no counting stats in two minutes during Monday's 118-100 victory over the Bulls.

Impact Robinson played two minutes off the bench, tallying one foul and nothing else. Despite having a somewhat fantasy-friendly game, Robinson is simply too far down the pecking order to have any chance at putting up value this season.

NOVEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Stuffs stat sheet off bench Robinson recorded 11 points (4-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 26 minutes during Monday's 122-114 loss to the Bucks.

Impact Robinson made the most of Bam Adebayo's absence due to a hip problem, and while he didn't start, he outplayed Thomas Bryant by a wide margin. The chances of Robinson playing heavy minutes going forward are slim and will be even more complicated once Adebayo returns to the court. But at the very least, Robinson showed enough to potentially steal some reserve minutes from Bryant going forward.

OCTOBER 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Struggles with efficiency Robinson recorded seven points (2-7 FG, 3-5 FT), five rebounds, two blocks, one assist and one rebound in 16 minutes during Friday's 110-104 preseason loss to the Rockets.

Impact Robinson showcased his defensive potential Friday but struggled with his shooting. Robinson is expected to be the Heat's third-string center behind Bam Adebayo and Thomas Bryant this season.

NBA 2K24 Summer League: Orlando Robinson leads Heat to victory over Blazers Second-year center Orlando Robinson scored a game-high 27 points to help Miami wrap up its Summer League play with a win.

Dominant against Bucks Robinson recorded 25 points (8-17 FG, 0-5 3PT, 9-12 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and two steals in 28 minutes of Thursday's 91-72 Summer League win over the Bucks.

Impact Robinson has arguably been the most impressive player for the Heat during the Summer League. Robinson played on a two-way contract with Miami in 2022-23, but he was recently signed to a standard two-year deal and it's easy to see why. This season, Robinson will be competing with Thomas Bryant for the backup center minutes behind Bam Adebayo.

Back to NBA Miami elevated Robinson from the G League's Sioux Falls Skyforce on Tuesday, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Per Winderman, Robinson participated in Miami's practice Tuesday, but it's unclear if he'll be available for Wednesday's matchup with New York. The undrafted rookie hasn't appeared in an NBA game since Feb. 15 and is averaging just 3.9 points and 4.1 rebounds in 29 games (one start) this season.

Steps back in as backup center Robinson (thumb) finished with two points (1-2 FG), two rebounds and one assist in 11 minutes Wednesday in the Heat's 116-111 win over the Pacers.

Impact Robinson made a speedier-than-expected recovery from a fractured right thumb, missing just two games before reclaiming the backup center role Wednesday. The rookie out of Fresno State is still signed to a two-way deal, but given that he's been a regular in the rotation since mid-December, the Heat will likely upgrade him to a standard NBA contract before the end of the season.

FEBRUARY 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Available Wednesday Robinson (thumb) is available for Wednesday's game against the Pacers, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Robinson missed the last two games with a fractured right thumb but was probable ahead of Wednesday's matchup. The 22-year-old is in line to serve as Miami's primary backup center after Dewayne Dedmon was traded to San Antonio.
