Former University of Kansas power forward Thomas Robinson is headed to Russia to continue his basketball career after five seasons in the NBA.
The 6-foot-10, 240-pound Robinson, 26, has signed a contract with BC Khimki Moscow that covers the rest of the 2017-18 season, according to the team’s website.
“We checked the market with our president and general manager and decided to make our team better. I’m about one month with the team and I see where we are weak and where we are strong. I would like to thank our president and sponsors as Robinson is a very strong addition to the team,” said Khimki coach Georgios Bartzokas on the team’s website.
