The charges include seven counts of petit larceny, with the stolen items valued at less than $1,000 each time. Rollins, who played for the Warriors last season, appeared in 12 games off the bench before being traded to the Wizards in a deal involving Chris Paul. After playing 10 games with the Wizards this season, he was waived on January 8th.
Rollins played his rookie season (last year) with the Golden State Warriors after being selected 44th overall by the Atlanta Hawks in the 2022 NBA Draft.
His career averages are 2.9 points and 1.0 rebounds per contest while shooting 44.4% from the field and 41.7% from the three-point range in 22 regular season games.
Rollins played a significant amount of time in the G League this season in addition to his time with the Wizards.
In four regular season games, he shot 35.7% from three-point range and 55.9% from the field, averaging 13.8 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.0 steals per game.
In five G League Showcase Cup games, he shot 33.3% from three-point range and 46.9% from the field, averaging 13.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.8 steals per game.
According to Robbins, a court date has been set for February.
After Rollins clears waivers, he becomes a free agent and can sign with any NBA team.
