According to Marc Spears of Yahoo! Sports, free agent guard Nate Robinson will resign with the Boston Celtics.
Robinson was acquired by Boston this past February that sent fan favorite Eddie House to the New York Knicks. The scoring guard did not play much in the regular season for the Celtics as he averaged a career low 14 minutes per game with Boston. This trend continued in the playoffs as Robinson played just 7.5 minutes per game. However, in Game 5 of the NBA Finals vs. the Lakers, Robinson went off for 12 points as he and Glen Davis led the Celtics to a victory.
The fan favorite expressed his desire to resign with the Celtics, despite seeing limited playing time and averaging just 6.5 points per game, 2.0 assists per game, and 1.5 rebounds per game while with Boston.
Update: According to various Celtics blogs, Robinson’s new deal is worth $8 million over two years. Robinson’s deal now gives the Celtics over $41 million in expiring contracts during the lockout year (2011-2012) (Garnett, Allen, O’Neal, Robinson) (H/T @celticsblog).
