Report: Nate Robinson mulling offer from CBA's Sichuan Blue Whales

After an injury-plagued 2014-15 campaign, little man Nate Robinson once again finds himself on the outside looking in.

Robinson remains without an NBA contract and is reportedly mulling an offer from the Sichuan Blue Whales of the Chinese Basketball Association, according to international basketball reporter David Pick.

Robinson split 42 games between the Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Clippers last season, posting uninspiring numbers to the tune of 5.7 points and 2.3 assists per game on 34.5 percent shooting from the field.

Granted, the Clippers saw enough out of Robinson to show interest in signing him to a full-year contract following two 10-day deals, but Robinson sustained a knee injury, which pushed the Clippers to sign Lester Hudson instead.

It's unclear how much the 31-year-old guard has left in the tank. Robinson took part in a basketball tournament with a $1 million prize pool earlier this summer, and showed up in his hometown at the Seattle Pro Am.

If Robinson signs in China, he'll join the likes of Dorell Wright and Jeff Ayres, among others, who have migrated overseas this summer.
