Duncan Robinson: ‘Not playing sucks’

Duncan Robinson was a fixture in the starting lineup next to Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo for the 2019-20 and 2020-21 seasons. His shooting helped the Heat’s offense run smoothly even though Butler and Adebayo are non-shooters.

For those two seasons, Robinson shot better than 40 percent from beyond the arc on high volume. That earned him a five-year, $90 million contract last off-season. But the former Division III basketball player struggled to shoot early in the season. Late in the year, Max Strus took his starting job. After Kyle Lowry’s injury in the first round of the playoffs, Victor Oladipo took his bench role.
