Robinson joins a Pistons team coming off a turnaround for the ages. Detroit’s Cinderella season ended in Game 6 of the opening round against the New York Knicks . Robinson was a replacement for Malik Beasley, who is ensnared in a federal gambling probe. Detroit was reportedly looking to sign Beasley to a long-term deal this offseason. Their plans changed once his legal troubles surfaced.
Robinson will take the floor with free-agent signing Caris LeVert , Point Guard Cade Cunningham, and Center Jalen Duren. The sharpshooter will bolster Detroit’s bench as they look to build upon their best season in years.
Robinson’s signing is a shrewd one by the Detroit Pistons. It illustrates the team is not resting on its laurels following a shockingly successful 2024-25 regular season. He will look to continue being one of the best three-point shooters in his league with his new team.
