Ruled out for Friday Robinson (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Raptors, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press

Impact Robinson recently said that he doesn't have a clear timetable to return to game action, and he'll be sidelined for a third consecutive game Friday. His final chance to suit up during the regular season will be in a rematch against Toronto on Sunday.

Downgraded to out Robinson (back) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks.

Impact Robinson was initially deemed doubtful for Wednesday's matchup, so it isn't very surprising to see him downgraded to out for the second half of a back-to-back set. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return to action.

Doubtful for Wednesday Robinson (back) is doubtful against the Mavericks on Wednesday, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports.

Impact Robinson is currently without a timetable for a return after aggravating his back injury, so the doubtful tag is a bit of a surprise. With Robinson expected to remain sidelined, guys like Nikola Jovic, Caleb Martin and Jaime Jaquez could benefit.

Back issue re-aggravated Robinson (back) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Atlanta and "wasn't able to fully feel like himself after returning from his back injury," Anthony Chiang of the Miami...

Impact Robinson's phrasing is ominous, noting that his back issue has worsened across five contests since returning from a five-game absence due to left facet syndrome. While operating without a timeline is contextually understandable with only four games remaining in the regular season, it appears that Robinson could be set for another multi-game absence moving forward. Facet syndrome is an arthritis-like condition in which joints between the spine bones become inflamed, so pain management appears to be a factor in Robinson's current range of motion on the left half of his back/neck.

APRIL 9 • ROTOWIRE

Downgraded to out Robinson (back) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Hawks.

Impact Robinson was previously listed as probable due to a minor back issue, but the injury will now force him to miss Tuesday's action. Tyler Herro could draw the start at shooting guard in Robinson's place.

APRIL 9 • ROTOWIRE

Likely to play against Hawks Robinson (back) is probable for Tuesday's game against Atlanta.

Impact Probable tags have been par for the course for Robinson as he continues to deal with his minor back issue. He has struggled in April, however, averaging 4.5 points on 28.6 percent shooting through four games.

APRIL 8 • ROTOWIRE

Officially available vs. Houston Robinson (back) is available for Friday's game against the Rockets, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Robinson was probable for Friday's matchup, so his availability isn't surprising. He's had a limited impact over his three appearances since returning from a five-game absence, averaging 4.7 points in 25.7 minutes per game.

APRIL 5 • ROTOWIRE

Probable for Friday's game Robinson (back) is probable for Friday's game against the Rockets, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Although Robinson continues to deal with a back injury, he'll likely be able to suit up once again Friday. Over his last three appearances, he's averaged 4.7 points in 25.7 minutes per game.

APRIL 5 • ROTOWIRE

Quiet again Tuesday Robinson logged six points (2-7 FG, 2-7 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 29 minutes during Tuesday's 109-99 victory over New York.

Impact Making his second straight start since returning from a back issue that cost him five games, Robinson made little impact and was the only member of the Heat's starting five to register a negative plus-minus. The 29-year-old wing will likely get bumped to the bench as soon as Tyler Herro (foot) is deemed ready to return.

APRIL 3 • ROTOWIRE

Officially available Tuesday Robinson (back) will play Tuesday versus the Knicks.

Impact Robinson will suit up for a second consecutive contest, although he was limited to just six points in Sunday's win over Washington. Miami's rotational will be at full strength with the exception of Tyler Herro (foot), who remains amid a multi-week absence.

APRIL 2 • ROTOWIRE

Listed probable for Tuesday Robinson (back) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.

Impact Robinson is still recovering from left facet syndrome, but he returned from a five-game absence Sunday against the Wizards and had six points (2-7 FG, 2-7 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one block in 28 minutes. Fantasy managers can expect the sharpshooter to be available for Tuesday.

APRIL 1 • ROTOWIRE

Hits two three-pointers in return Robinson (back) recorded six points (2-7 FG, 2-7 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one block in 28 minutes Sunday in the Heat's 119-107 win over the Wizards.

Impact Making his return from a five-game absence due to left facet syndrome, Robinson delivered an underwhelming fantasy line overall despite seeing quality minutes, but he wasn't a total zero for those that streamed him for three-pointers. Before his recent absence, Robinson had started in each of his last 12 appearances while averaging 13.9 points, 3.7 assists, 3.5 rebounds, 3.0 three-pointers and 1.0 steals in 32.8 minutes per contest, so he could be worthy of a pickup in 12-team leagues where he might have been dropped. However, Robinson will likely move into a bench role and see his playing time take a hit as soon as Tyler Herro (foot) is ready to return.

APRIL 1 • ROTOWIRE

Will play Sunday Robinson (back) is available for Sunday's game against the Wizards, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact As expected, Robinson has been upgraded from probable to available and will suit up for the first time since March 18. Robinson was on a heater before his injury, averaging 16.0 points, 3.9 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.1 steals across 14 consecutive starts. Robinson may face some limitations during his return but is expected to start at shooting guard, as Miami remains without Tyler Herro (foot), Caleb Martin (ankle) and Josh Richardson (shoulder).

MARCH 31 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to return Sunday Robinson (back) is listed as probable for Sunday's game versus the Wizards.

Impact Robinson is expected to return to action Sunday after missing Miami's last five contests with a back injury. With Tyler Herro (foot) still out, Robinson could replace Patty Mills in the starting lineup against Washington.

MARCH 30 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Friday Robinson (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Robinson and Tyler Herro (foot) remain out, so Patty Mills is in line to draw another start at shooting guard. Robinson's next chance to suit up will come Sunday in Washington, but he'll be unlikely to play in that contest unless he can return to practice Saturday.

MARCH 28 • ROTOWIRE

Will remain sidelined Tuesday Robinson (back) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Warriors, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Robinson will be unavailable for a fourth consecutive game due to a back issue. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return, but he'll have a few days to rest before Miami faces the Trail Blazers on Friday.

MARCH 25 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Sunday Robinson (back) won't play in Sunday's game versus the Cavaliers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Robinson's absence streak will extend to three games Sunday due to a back injury. Patty Mills will likely continue to start in his absence. Robinson's next chance to suit up is Tuesday's matchup with Golden State.

MARCH 23 • ROTOWIRE

Still out Friday Robinson (back) won't play in Friday's game versus the Pelicans.

Impact Robinson will miss his second straight contest Friday due to left facet syndrome in his back. Patty Mills is in line to draw another start in his absence. Robinson's next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with Cleveland.

MARCH 21 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Wednesday Robinson (back) will be unavailable for Wednesday's game against Cleveland.

Impact Robinson was forced to exit Monday's game after 24 minutes of action, and he appears to be dealing with more than a minor tweak upon being ruled out more than a full day in advance of Wednesday's contest. It's unfortunate timing for the 29-year-old, who has rained in 46 points, fueled by 11 made threes, across his last two healthy appearances. Miami's rotation is currently in flux with Jimmy Butler (foot) questionable to play Wednesday.

MARCH 19 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with back issue Robinson has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's game against the 76ers due to back discomfort. He totaled three points (1-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and four rebounds in 24 m...

Impact Robinson will be considered day-to-day until more information on the severity of his injury comes to light. Patty Mills and Jaime Jaquez could see more chances Wednesday against Cleveland if Robinson is forced to miss additional time.

MARCH 19 • ROTOWIRE

Erupts for 30 in Detroit Robinson posted 30 points (10-15 FG, 7-12 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds and five assists in 35 minutes during Sunday's 104-101 victory over the Pistons.

Impact With Jimmy Butler (foot) and Tyler Herro (foot) both unavailable for Miami, Robinson made his 11th straight start and delivered a season scoring high. The seven made three-pointers were also a season best for the 29-year-old wing, and during his stint in the starting five, Robinson's averaging 14.9 points, 4.0 assists, 3.5 boards, 3.3 threes and 1.1 steals.

MARCH 18 • ROTOWIRE

Drains four threes vs. Detroit Robinson finished Friday's 108-95 victory over the Pistons with 16 points (6-14 FG, 4-12 3Pt), two rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals in 33 minutes.

Impact Robinson was responsible for four of the Heat's seven threes Friday as the team shot 20.6 percent from deep. He's averaging 40.3 percent from three this season, though he is in a bit of a slump as he's gone 9-for-31 from beyond the arc over his last three games. Since entering the starting lineup Feb. 26, Robinson is averaging 13.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.2 steals over 33.5 minutes per game while shooting 43.6 percent from the field.

MARCH 16 • ROTOWIRE

Drains five threes in loss Robinson posted 19 points (7-10 FG, 5-8 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists in 30 minutes during Thursday's 114-108 loss to Dallas.

Impact With Tyler Herro (knee) still sidelined, Robinson made his sixth straight start and continued his recent assault on the bucket from long range. The 29-year-old wing has drained multiple three-pointers in nine of the last 10 contests, averaging 15.7 points, 4.1 assists, 3.6 threes, 2.8 boards and 1.0 steals over that stretch while shooting 50.0 percent from the floor and 46.2 percent from beyond the arc.

MARCH 8 • ROTOWIRE

Hits four threes in win vs. Detroit Robinson produced 18 points (6-11 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 36 minutes during Tuesday's 118-110 win over Detroit.

Impact Robinson's deep shooting was on full display Tuesday as he led the Heat in three-point makes in the win. He is shooting 40.5 percent from three this season and has taken on a starting role in six of his last seven games. Robinson figures to reprise his bench role once Tyler Herro (knee) returns to action.

MARCH 6 • ROTOWIRE

Poor shooting in victory Robinson ended Saturday's 126-120 win over Utah with 12 points (5-13 FG, 2-9 3Pt), five rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal in 34 minutes.

Impact Robinson struggled from the floor, going 5-of-13 on his way to 12 points. Having started in six of the past seven games, Robinson has continued to put together a strong season after falling off the radar during the 2022-23 campaign. As long as he is playing heavy minutes, Robinson is worth adding in 12-team leagues.
