He hasn't played this season so he can make the playoff roster.
Is he eligible for the playoffs?
From Larry Coon's faq:
He was waived on March 2.If a player is waived after March 1, he is ineligible to be included in the playoff roster of any team that signs him for the remainder of that season.
He hasn't played this season so he can make the playoff roster.

Hornets Waive Davis And Robinson
New Orleans - The Hornets announced that they have waived center Dale Davis and forward Glenn Robinson.
"Dale and Glenn have been quality players in this league for many years, but we knew when we made these trades that neither of them were a part of our plans for the future," said Hornets General Manager Allan Bristow. "By waiving them now, we can allow them to pursue an opportunity with another team this season."
Davis was acquired along with guard Speedy Claxton and cash considerations from the Golden State Warriors in exchange for Baron Davis on February 24. He averaged 3.1 points and 4.3 rebounds in 36 games for the Warriors before being traded to the Hornets. The 13-year veteran owns career averages of 8.5 points, 8.2 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in 995 games and has shot .531 (3,483-6,556) from the field over his career with Indiana, Portland and Golden State.
Robinson was acquired from the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for Jamal Mashburn and Rodney Rogers on February 24. He had not appeared in a game for the Sixers this season after being placed on the Injured List on November 1 with left ankle tendonitis. The 10-year veteran holds career averages of 20.8 points, 6.1 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 679 games with Philadelphia, Atlanta and Milwaukee.
Probably a typo. Check the record books.

Spurs.com DOES screw up every now and then.
I suggest you fetch your eyes before they roll away.
I've been trolling around some other sites, wondering what the rest of the league thinks about this move. Frankly, I've been surprised at how many fans are looking at this as some desperation move by the Spurs; as some tacit admission that the Spurs are in bad shape, since they're turning to Big Dog for help.
I can't see that.
I see an interesting move that has tremendous upside and no real risk. If Big Dog can still score, he's Vinny Johnson-like guy to come off the bench. If Big Dog can't play, or if he's a bad guy, he'll be out of here quickly without any harm to the Spurs financial situation. It's worth a look in my book.
His pickup by the Spurs at this exact time is the perfect boost to the traffic flow of these forums.
Desperate times call for desperate measures.
I think you have to much Desperate Housewives on the brain Jim.
actually I have never even seen that show.
I only have watched 2 shows a week for the past 10-15 yrs.
Now it is Lost and Joey.
Indeed. If you assume that GRobinson doesn't come down with whatever hit Steve Smith at age 32 then you are looking at a guy who can be a significant part of the rotation for another 2 to 3 seasons. If not then he cost you Dion Glover.
However, I'm skeptical of GRobinson's short term efficacy.
WB, Marcus.
I don't know about being a signifigant part of the rotation for the next 2 or 3 seasons...
If he's that good he's going to get a better contract than we can offer...
And I just don't think he's gonna click with Pop longterm...
I don't see this guy having a lengthy stay with us....even if he is effective for us the rest of the season.
It's good to be back though, well, it's just for today.
No kidding! The holier than thou crowd is having a field day getting their panties in a wad over this. They need to get back to their one-handed surfing on Bill O'Reilly's website imo.His pickup by the Spurs at this exact time is the perfect boost to the traffic flow of these forums.
Question: How did the whole "HITA" thing get started? I know what it stands for, but never remembered where it came from.
This was a real shock to me because I was just looking at NBA.com a few days ago and noticed he was available but he doesnt play Defense. Then I thought to myself if we signed him and he played with Duncan, Bowen, Manu and Paker then four out of five playing defense isnt bad. That if he still has that mid range jumper. If not then its not a good move. The Spurs are a very smart team and you know they worked him out. I know alot of you say he was not happy playing with the Sixers and the Bucks but this is the World Champion Spurs and playing on a Champion caliber team that consistantly wins will make any player happy. So lets see what happens. PS Glover left on good terms with the team and expect him to sign with our Summer team.
We'll see. We thought Mercer would make a fresh start too, but GRob has shown much more ability to work in a system. If he's nothing but a chucker he'll be gone.
Holy crap! Didn't expect this.
Don't like him too much, but he was a former number 1 draft pick which is a nice thing to have on the end of your bench.
Glenn Robinson was a valued player up until the past few years...Mercer has been a project since the day he entered the league...
Yep, the Spurs are done. I'm mean their 12th man is only a former number 1 draft pick.
Hope he does well.
