This was supposed to be the breakout year for Glenn Robinson III.
He started last season out of head coach Nate McMillan’s rotation but blossomed into a key bench contributor. He stated at media day he had worked on his shooting and ball handling during the off-season and was looking to be more aggressive while continuing his development.
He is also entering a contract year, an opportunity to cash in as a solid 3-and-D wing player in an era where teams are paying eight-figure salaries for such types.
Now, all that optimism has turned into doubt due to damaged medial and lateral ligaments in Robinson’s left ankle suffered on the second day of training camp.
