Thomas Robinson settles on Philadelphia 76ers after whirlwind week

The Philadelphia 76ers have announced that they have signed forward Thomas Robinson from the waiver wire.

The 23-year-old left the Portland Trail Blazers last week and was traded to the Denver Nuggets, but they released him after just three days.

Reports had suggested that he was on his way to the Brooklyn Nets, but the 76ers have stepped in to sign the forward at the last minute.

Robinson has played in 172 NBA games, averaging five points in every 14 minutes.
