Nate Robinson's basketball journey is taking him to the Lebanese Basketball League.

The diminutive 5-foot-9 point guard has agreed to sign a one-year contract with Homenetmen Beirut, sources told Yahoo Sports' Shams Charania.

This isn't Robinson's first stint playing competitive ball overseas, as he's also played in Venezuela and Israel.

It was announced in January that Robinson would be joining Ice Cube's Big3 league as a member of Tri-State, joining other former NBAers Jermaine O'Neal and Amar'e Stoudemire.

The 34-year-old spent 11 seasons in the NBA after going 21st overall in the 2005 NBA draft to the Phoenix Suns, who immediately traded him to the New York Knicks.

Robinson averaged 11 points on 42.3 percent shooting, three dimes, 2.3 boards, and 0.9 steals across 618 games with eight different teams. His last NBA action came in 2015-16 as a member of the New Orleans Pelicans.
