Nelson, 32, appeared in just six games for the Celtics after coming over from Dallas in the Rajon Rondo deal last month. He was averaging 4.8 points and 5.5 assists in just over 20 minutes per game for Boston.

The 11-year NBA veteran and all-time Orlando Magic assists leader hasn't played since Jan. 2 because of an ankle injury. He has averaged 6.8 points and 4.4 assists in 29 games between the Mavericks and Celtics this season.

Robinson, 30, was averaging 5.8 points in 33 games during his second season with the Nuggets. The 10-year NBA veteran played in 81 games for Boston between 2010-11.
