EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J., Jan. 3 (UPI) -- Swingman Bernard Robinson has been traded from the Charlotte Bobcats to the New Jersey Nets for guard Jeff McInnis and cash considerations.
Robinson played in 21 games this season for the Bobcats, averaging 2.4 points and 2 rebounds a game. He's in his third season in the NBA and has averaged 4.8 points and 2.9 rebounds for his career.
"Bernard can play both guard and forward, is a good defender and will add athleticism and depth off our bench," New Jersey President Rod Thorn said Wednesday.
McInnis has been inactive this season because of a knee injury the same problem that caused him to miss 48 games last season. In 28 games before the injury last year with New Jersey, McInnis averaged 5.3 points and 1.9 assists a game.
