Report: Clippers, Cavs among 4 teams interested in Nate Robinson

With the Los Angeles Clippers already said to be interested in free-agent guard Nate Robinson (see story below), the Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat and Washington Wizards have also expressed interest, according to Yahoo Sports' Marc Spears.

Robinson, who was bought out by the Boston Celtics after being traded by the Denver Nuggets earlier this week, is in the midst of a career-worst season after knee surgery to repair a torn ACL last year.

The 30-year-old, 10-year veteran averaged 5.8 points, 2.3 assists and 1.2 rebounds in 14 minutes per game with the Nuggets, shooting 34 percent from the field and 26 percent from 3-point range.

The Clippers offer Robinson the chance to play for Doc Rivers again, as he did as a member of the Boston Celtics during the 2009-10 and 2010-11 seasons, while the Wizards and even the Cavs see themselves contenders in the wide open Eastern Conference.

The Heat currently sit in seventh place in the East at 17-22.

None of the four teams appear to have many minutes to offer at either guard position, however.
