Heat's Orlando Robinson: Back to NBA
Rotowire
Miami recalled Robinson from the G League's Sioux Falls Skyforce on Saturday.
Robinson struggled offensively during Sioux Falls' G League playoff loss to the Oklahoma City Blue on Friday, scoring only nine points (4-14 FG) while committing a team-high four turnovers. However, he made an impact defensively by totaling eight boards, two steals and a block. With the Skyforce's season now over, Robinson will likely serve as a depth option for the Heat over the final week of the regular season.

Heat's Orlando Robinson: Plays 12 minutes in return
Rotowire
Robinson (back) tallied zero points, three rebounds and one assist across 12 minutes Thursday in the Heat's 103-97 loss to the Nuggets.
Robinson had missed the Heat's previous three games while recovering from back spasms, but after being cleared ahead of Thursday's opening tip, he entered the Miami rotation as the primary backup to Bam Adebayo. Miami was without Kevin Love (heel) on Thursday and Thomas Bryant was out while serving the final game of his three-game suspension, so if both of the centers are back in action for Saturday's game against the Jazz, Robinson could drop out of the rotation.

Heat's Orlando Robinson: Plays well in starting role
Rotowire
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.
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 another game.

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