ASK IRA: Is Orlando Robinson's time with the Heat winding down? Is Miami Heat's Orlando Robinson facing an expiration date?

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.

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.

Officially listed as probable Robinson (thumb) is probable for Wednesday's game versus Indiana.

Impact Robinson is expected to play Wednesday despite missing the previous two games with a fractured right thumb, as the rookie big man was able to practice Tuesday. With Dewayne Dedmon being traded to San Antonio, Robinson will be the Heat's primary backup center.

Impact Though the rookie center is still dealing with a fractured right thumb that has already cost him two games, he was apparently able to practice with limited protection on the broken finger and expressed optimism about his chances of playing through the injury moving forward. Assuming the Heat agree with Robinson's own assessment of his health, the 22-year-old should settle back in to the rotation Wednesday as the top backup to starter Bam Adebayo.

Likely out several weeks Robinson is expected to miss several weeks after he sustained a fractured right thumb in Tuesday's 100-97 win over the Cavaliers, but the Heat haven't yet provided an official time...

Impact Though Robinson suggested Thursday when he spoke to the media that he thinks he would be able to play through the injury with a splint, but the Heat won't entertain that idea until he meets with a specialist when the team returns to Miami following its four-game road trip, which concludes Saturday in Milwaukee. Based on timelines of players who have suffered this type of injury in the past, Robinson could be facing an absence of around one month, which would keep him sidelined through the All-Star break and likely a few games to open the second half. While Robinson was sidelined for Thursday's 106-104 loss to the Knicks, Udonis Haslem drew the nod over Dewayne Dedmon for the backup center role behind starter Bam Adebayo.

Dealing with fractured thumb Robinson has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Knicks due to a fractured right thumb.

Impact Robinson has recently seen relatively consistent playing time off the bench, averaging 3.2 points and 4.4 rebounds in 13.4 minutes per game over 14 appearances in January. It's not yet clear how much time he'll be forced to miss due to his thumb injury, but it's possible Dewayne Dedmon re-enters Miami's rotation in Robinson's absence.

Fails to score in 11 minutes Robinson ended Friday's 110-105 win over Orlando with zero points (0-1 FG), four rebounds and one block in 11 minutes.

Impact Robinson didn't trouble the scorers in Friday's win, continuing an unproductive few weeks. He has scored double digits only four times all season and currently sits well outside the top 250 in standard formats. While he has flashed some upside, the playing time isn't there for him on most nights. He is someone to keep an eye on as a long-term prospect, but as for this season, he should not be on anyone's radar.

Returns to reserve role Robinson will come off the bench Thursday against the Bucks.

Impact With Bam Adebayo (wrist) returning to action Thursday, and Dewayne Dedmon suspended, Robinson will return to his reserve role. After a strong performance in his first career start Tuesday, the center could see quality minutes in relief of Adebayo against the Bucks.

Quiet night in first career start Robinson finished with four points (2-2 FG), six rebounds, one block and one steal over 24 minutes during Tuesday's 112-111 win over the Thunder.

Impact Robinson received his first career start in place of Bam Adebayo (wrist), seeing a quiet night in limited time. Robinson finished second among Heat starters in rebounds and has now hauled in five or more boards in six games this season.

Impresses off bench Monday Robinson accumulated 15 points (7-9 FG, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 27 minutes during Monday's 113-110 victory over the Timberwolves.

Impact Robinson was called upon duty due to the lack of depth on the Heat's frontcourt, but he didn't disappoint and recorded his best game of the season, posting season-high marks in points, rebounds and assists while ending just one board shy of a double-double. Robinson is still a bench option for the Heat, however, and he shouldn't be relied upon in fantasy outside of deeper leagues and only as an emergency option when the Heat is as shorthanded as they were Monday.

Gets green light Saturday Robinson (back) will be available for Saturday's game versus the Spurs.

Impact Robinson should provide some additional frontcourt depth Saturday, but he's unlikely to see anywhere near the 36 minutes he logged against the Rockets with Bam Adebayo cleared to play and Dewayne Dedmon (foot) also expected to suit up.

DECEMBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Probable against Spurs Robinson is probable to play in Saturday's matchup with San Antonio due to lower back discomfort.

Impact Robinson is expected to play Saturday after playing 36 minutes off the bench Thursday. Fantasy managers will have to check back in before game time to determine what his role will be, as all 16 players on the Heat's roster currently have an injury designation.

Miami Heat's Orlando Robinson Makes An Immediate Impact Robinson gave the Heat quality minutes Thursday against Houston Rockets after being called up from G League

DECEMBER 16, 2022 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Solid line in NBA debut Robinson finished with 14 points (6-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, one steal and one block in 32 minutes Friday in the Heat's 107-106 overtime loss to the Wizards.

Impact Due to a number of players dealing with injuries or illness, Miami had only seven players available Friday, so Robinson ended up serving as the top frontcourt option off the bench in what marked his NBA debut. The two-way player turned in a fantasy-friendly stat line in his extended run, but if both Bam Adebayo (knee) and Dewayne Dedmon (illness) are available for the Heat's next game Sunday against the Cavaliers, Robinson is likely to fall out of head coach Erik Spoelstra's rotation.

Starting Friday Robinson will start Friday's preseason game against Memphis, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact With Bam Adebayo (rest) ruled out, Robinson will get his first start during the preseason. He'll be joined by Gabe Vincent, Duncan Robinson, Marcus Garrett and Haywood Highsmith.
