In a Twitter post Robinson said, “GLORY BE TO GOD.”

You may recall that the Virginia Tech product appeared in nine games with the Washington Wizards during the 2019-2020 season. He then would split time between the Capital City Go-Go and Delaware Blue Coats G-League organizations this season.

Robinson joins a Thunder team that has a handful of ACC talents in Tony Bradley (UNC), Justin Jackson (UNC) and Ty Jerome (UVa).
