In the Miami Heat’s third game of the season, visiting the Minnesota Timberwolves, Duncan Robinson scored 21 points on four 3-pointers — what was then a career-high. That was the last time Miami played without Jimmy Butler thus far. In Miami’s very next game, Robinson played just 87 seconds of mop-up time. With Butler back in the lineup, Robinson went back to the bench.
But since then, both Justise Winslow and Derrick Jones Jr. have been out. That’s given Robinson another chance to play.
