NEW YORK (AP) -The New York Knicks say the agent for Nate Robinson has asked the team to trade the recently benched guard.
A team spokesman says the request was made Saturday and that team president Donnie Walsh will have discussions with Robinson’s agent, Aaron Goodwin.
Robinson, a productive backup last season, hasn’t played in the last eight games. Knicks coach Mike D’Antoni insists the benching isn’t personal, only that he wants to use the players who give the team the best chance to win and that Robinson currently isn’t one of them.
Robinson is averaging only 10.9 points after scoring a career-best 17.2 per game last season. The two-time slam dunk champion re-signed with the Knicks on a one-year deal this summer after generating little interest as a restricted free agent.
