Robinson quickly established herself as perhaps the quickest athlete in the WNBA.[4] Robinson made the Western Conference All-Star Team in her third season in the league, and led the league in assists per game, earning the WNBA Peak Performer award for assists.[5]

In 2015, Robinson re-signed with San Antonio in free agency.[6]

In 2016, Robinson was sidelined for the whole season due to an achilles injury.[7]

In 2017, Robinson was traded to the Phoenix Mercury in exchange for Isabelle Harrison and a 2017 first round pick.[8]

On March 6, 2018, Robinson was traded along with a 2nd round pick in 2019, to the Minnesota Lynx, for the 12th pick in the 2018 WNBA draft.[9]

Europe

Robinson began her European career with Tarsus Belediye in Mersin, Turkey. She played for the team during the 2012–13 season in both the Turkish Women's Basketball League and the EuroLeague Women. The following year, she joined ZVVZ USK Prague. She came to the team late in the 2013-14 season, but helped them to the Final Eight in that year's EuroLeague Women.[10] She returned to ZVVZ USK Prague for the 2014-15 season. She helped take the team to its first EuroLeague title, scoring 24 points on 11-of-19 shooting in the Final against the heavily-favored UMMC Ekaterinburg.[11]
