Eddie Robinson goes on injured list

CHICAGO, Nov. 21 (UPI) -- Chicago Bulls swingman Eddie Robinson, who has battled a toe injury through the season's opening month, again was placed on the injured list Wednesday.

Robinson is sidelined with an injured left great toe, which he broke at the end of the exhibition season. He missed the first five games of the season.

In three contests, the 6-9 Robinson averaged 13.7 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists.

The 25-year-old Robinson spent his first two seasons with the Charlotte Hornets and averaged 7.0 and 7.4 points, respectively, after he signed with the team as an undrafted free agent.

Robinson was Chicago's prize free agent signing this past offseason, receiving an offer sheet of $32 million over five years. The Hornets had the opportunity to match the offer but did not.

However, he broke his toe in the final preseason game and was placed on the injured list.

To take Robinson's place on the roster, the Bulls activated guard A.J. Guyton, who had been out with a sprained right knee.

Guyton, selected 32nd overall in last year's draft, has averaged 4.4 points and 1.5 assists in 14 games, including five starts.
