Nate Robinson is out for the season with a torn ACL. He has been missed, and the Nuggets need him out there. When he was healthy, he was averaging 10 points per game. Robinson was the heart of the bench, and he made a difference every time he was on the floor. Now for the rumors.

The young-guard has a clause in his contract that he can opt-out for next season, but it appears that he will not be doing so. Why would he not do this? It would not be easy for Robinson to go out and get a better contract than what he already has for next season because he is recovering from a very serious injury. Now Robinson will play the year out next season in Denver to look to get a long contract extension the following year. Thankfully though, he will be in a Nuggets uniform next year, and hopefully for years to come.
