The PF spent the first two seasons of his professional career with Oklahoma City. Jeremiah Robinson-Earl played in 92 games and made 56 starts for the Thunder.

Due to injuries in the 2025-26 season, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl has signed two consecutive 10-day contracts with the Pacers. He’s played in 10 games and made three starts for head coach Rick Carlisle. Robinson-Earl is averaging 20.3 minutes per game. On Thursday, November 20, NBA insider Shams Charania announced that Indiana is signing Jeremiah Robinson-Earl to a standard contract.
Through 10 games and three starts this season, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl is averaging 5.2 points and 6.2 rebounds per game. To sign Robinson-Earl, the Pacers had to waive veteran guard Monte Morris. He was on a one-year, $2.95 million deal with Indiana. Morris almost signed with a European club this summer. We’ll see if he takes that option or waits for another pathway back onto an NBA roster. Morris is in his ninth professional season and was a second-round pick in the 2017 NBA draft.
