Raptors' Orlando Robinson: Dominant off bench Wednesday
Rotowire
Robinson finished with 25 points (9-19 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 12 rebounds and six assists over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 118-105 victory over the 76ers.
Robinson shifted to the bench Wednesday due to the return of Jakob Poeltl. That didn't limit Robinson's impact on the floor, as he played more minutes than Poeltl (17) while finishing second on the team in both rebounding and points. Robinson has registered a double-double in two consecutive games and will look to extend that streak to three against the Pacers on Friday.

Raptors' Orlando Robinson: Season-high 12 points off bench
Rotowire
Robinson put up 12 points (4-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight boards, three assists and one block in 24 minutes during Friday's 125-115 overtime loss to the Bulls.
The third-year big man had a solid night with the second unit, stringing together a season high in points with his second-best rebounding game of the year. Although his efficiency from the field left plenty to be desired, it was encouraging to see Robinson take as many shots as he did considering it was his highest mark of the season by a good margin. With the Raptors fairly thin at the center position, Robinson has an opportunity to carve out a real role in head coach Darko Rajakovic's rotation going forward.

Orlando Robinson: Contract expires
Rotowire
Robinson became a free agent Friday after his 10-day contract expired, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Since Robinson has already completed a pair of 10-day deals, he would need to be signed for the rest of the season or to a two-way contract in order to be eligible to play for Toronto. Over the course of his two 10-day deals, Robinson appeared in seven games and averaged 3.7 points and 2.7 rebounds in 11.0 minutes per contest. If Toronto elects to re-sign Robinson prior to Friday's game in Oklahoma City, he could be in store for a substantial role; Jakob Poeltl (hip) has already been ruled out for a second straight game, and the Raptors traded his top backup, Kelly Olynyk, to the Pelicans on Wednesday.

Raptors' Orlando Robinson: Barely sees floor in loss
Rotowire
Robinson closed Wednesday's 138-107 loss to the Grizzlies with one point (1-2 FT) across three minutes.
Robinson continues to be used sparingly by the Raptors, having played fewer than 15 minutes in four of the past five games. While it has been slow going for Robinson, there is a chance he could step into a meaningful role in the near future. Jakob Poeltl is sidelined due to a hip injury, while Kelly Olynyk was traded to the Pelicans on Wednesday. Depending on what happens at the trade deadline, Robinson could be the next man up in the middle.

Robinson appeared in three games over the course of his week-and-a-half-long stay with Toronto, averaging 2.7 points, 2.3 rebounds and 0.7 blocks in 11.0 minutes per contest.
