Former lottery pick Jerome Robinson joining Warriors on training camp deal

Free agent guard Jerome Robinson will sign a training camp contract with the Warriors, according to a tweet from ESPN’s NFL insider Adam Schefter.

Robinson, 25, last played in the NBA with the Wizards during the 2020-21 season, but he only got into 17 games and saw limited playing time. Washington decided not to pick up Robinson’s fourth-year option, which would have paid him $5.34M, and he was waived just before the end of the regular season.

Robinson was a lottery pick in 2018, being taken by the Clippers with the 13th selection. He was never able to carve out a role in L.A. and was sent to the Wizards in a three-team deal at the 2020 trade deadline.

He spent last season with the Warriors’ G League affiliate, so he already has a connection to the organization. He appeared in 22 games for Santa Cruz and averaged 20.2 points, 4.2 rebounds and 4.0 assists per night.

Golden State has 13 guaranteed contracts and will likely keep just 14 players due to luxury tax concerns, so there appears to be one available roster spot that Robinson can fight for.
