Robinson agreed to a contract Monday with Hapoel Tel Aviv of Israel, according to international basketball reporter David Pick.

Analysis:

Robinson appeared in two games with the Pelicans in October, but was released after the team decided to pursue other options at point guard on the waiver market. After failing to attract interest from any other NBA teams as a bench scorer, Robinson, a former defensive back with the Washington Huskies for one season in college, recently said that he was entertaining a possible football career, but he'll ultimately opt to stay with his current sport. He'll likely finish out the season in Israel before looking to earn a tryout opportunity with another NBA squad in training camp next fall.
