Today, January 8th, is Glenn Robinson III’s — AKA Lil Dog — 23rd Birthday. But the best gift he received recently was from the hand of providence.
It was unfortunate that Monta Ellis went down with an injury, but that forced Indiana Pacers coach Nate McMillan to put Robinson in the starting lineup. Robinson impressed in his initial stint as a starter when Paul George was hurt, but obviously, Glenn wasn’t going to knock PG out of his spot.
But in his second stint with the ‘regular’ four starters, the Pacers began to thrive.
