Chicago Bulls guard Nate Robinson was forced into action during this postseason because of numerous injuries to three starters.

He responded well, averaging 16.3 points in 33.7 minutes in 12 playoff games.

It might be his last appearance with the team, according to Comcast SportsNet Chicago. Robinson will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason after making $1,146,337 this past season. Robinson has indicated that he would like to return to the team but knows there is ”limited space.”

From CSN Chicago:

However, with Rose’s expected return next season, Hinrich having another deal on his contract and rookie point guard Marquis Teague needing at least the opportunity to develop in game situations, it’s unlikely that next season will be in Chicago for the instant-offense scorer and fan favorite.

If it was up to Robinson, though, the little man with the big heart would be back in the Windy City.

“I would love to. Honestly, I really would, but knowing the guys we have here, I know it’s probably limited space for me. But we’ll see how it goes. Talk to my agent and stuff like that and figure out what’s the best plan for me,” the loquacious speedster said. “I love this team, I love these guys and if I could stay here, it would be wonderful.”

Golden State Warriors point guard Nate Robinson was one of many people running for their lives on Wednesday night as gun shots rang out from the stands of a basketball game at New York City’s famed Rucker Park, according to a report on Thursday from The New York Post:

Rodney Harris, 47, was standing five feet from two men who started arguing over a bad call from the referees. At around 10 p.m. on Wednesday night, according to the report, the alleged gunman pulled out a gun and fired two shots into the crowd. Harris said that the former Knicks  guard was among the crowd but escaped without injury:

“He was watching the game,” Harris said. “After the shooting, he was okay. He wasn’t hurt…he left like everyone else.”

In total, five people were shot but they are all expected to survive.

The gunman ran out of the park with the rest of the crowd, walked calmly across the street but then fired a few more rounds, according to the report. The Post did not confirm whether the gunman was taken into police custody.

The Golden State Warriors and free agent guard Nate Robinson are close to a deal, according to Golden State beat writer Marcus Thompson.

The report states that Robinson could sign Wednesday and join the team Friday.

Robinson started last season with Boston, averaging 7.1 points in almost 20 minutes a game. He ended the season with Oklahoma City, where he saw very limited action.
