Wizards trade for Robinson, Napier on deadline day

WashingtonWizards.com

On Thursday, the Wizards made a pair of trade deadline deals, adding guards Jerome Robinson and Shabazz Napier in separate transactions. Robinson came by way of the Clippers in exchange for Isaiah Thomas and the draft rights to Issuf Sanon as part of a three-team trade that included the Knicks. Napier was acquired from the Nuggets in exchange for Jordan McRae.

Robinson played in 42 of the Clippers’ 51 games this season, but struggled to find consistent minutes as a young player among one of the league’s most experienced, elite wing rotations. Robinson was graded as one of the most versatile scorers in the 2018 and caught the eye of the Wizards’ front office throughout the pre-draft process.
