The Raptors have signed free agent center Orlando Robinson to a 10-day contract, the team announced today in a press release.
No corresponding roster move was necessary because Eugene Omoruyi‘s 10-day deal with Toronto expired overnight on Friday, freeing up the 15th spot on the club’s standard roster.

Robinson, 24, spent two seasons with the Heat from 2022-24 before joining the Kings as a free agent last summer to provide depth at center behind Domantas Sabonis and Alex Len. However, the former Fresno State standout appeared in just nine games for Sacramento, averaging 2.1 points and 1.6 rebounds in 6.3 minutes per contest before being waived ahead of the league-wide salary guarantee deadline earlier this month.
On the same day the Kings waived Robinson, the Raptors cut big man Bruno Fernando, so the newcomer will fill the spot on the depth chart that Fernando previously occupied, providing another frontcourt option for head coach Darko Rajakovic.
Robinson will earn $119,972 over the course of his 10 days with the Raptors, who will take on a cap hit worth the same amount. The deal will run through January 27, allowing Robinson to be active for up to four games.
When the contract expires, Toronto will have the option of re-signing Robinson to a second 10-day deal before having to make a decision on whether to sign him for the rest of the season or let him walk.
