Signing veteran Glenn Robinson III appeared to be something to replace losing Bazemore, but he fell out of the rotation and on the team’s last extended road trip, was listed out due to personal reasons at Milwaukee on Feb. 21. Sources said Robinson was indeed dealing with personal issues, but was also unhappy that he was no longer playing, something that wouldn’t change with young wing player DaQuan Jeffries getting whatever minutes were available for a backup wing player. Robinson was released last week before his salary was guaranteed for the season.

With seemingly no inclination to spend money and pay the luxury tax and, with GM Jon Horst having virtually mortgaged the team’s future — he dealt three No. 1 picks (all unprotected) to acquire Jrue Holiday, the Bucks options are clearly limited. One player who could come at a small price and help them is Glenn Robinson III, who was recently released by Sacramento and whom the Bucks have shown interest in in the past. “I think he’s a solid player,’’ a player personnel official said of Robinson. “His shot is pretty good; his defense is pretty good. I think he’d be a handy pickup for a team like the Bucks looking for an off-the-bench guy.’’
Kings to waive Glenn Robinson III
Adrian Wojnarowski: The Sacramento Kings are planning to waive forward Glenn Robinson III, sources tell ESPN. Robinson has averaged 5.3 points in 23 games this season.
Glenn Robinson's future with Kings uncertain
Glenn Robinson III was still away from the team when the Kings visited the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday and it was not clear if he would return. Sources with knowledge of the situation told The Sacramento Bee Robinson’s future with the team is uncertain as the deadline for nonguaranteed contracts approaches. Robinson was anticipating his release, but the team had not communicated its intentions as of Tuesday night, sources said.
Walton reiterated that Robinson was away from the team for personal seasons prior to Tuesday’s 127-118 loss to the Nets when Marshall Harris of CBS13 asked if the team planned to release Robinson. “That’s not my understanding of what is going on,” Walton said. “I’ve been told that it’s personal matters, and when it comes to personal matters I don’t really pry. I’m very big on us being close and open, but I also respect everybody and what people are going through. … My understanding is it’s been personal reasons and that’s why he’s not with our team.”
