Oklahoma City Thunder guard Andre Roberson will move into the starting five for Tuesday's scrimmage against the Portland Trail Blazers. Veteran point guard Chris Paul will receive a routine rest day here. That means, Roberson gets to join the starting five and show everyone what he can do. It's great to see Roberson back on the court after being sidelined for two years. He won't offer much fantasy value outside of defensive stats, but at least he's getting a chance to play again.
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Andre Roberson (knee) was finally able to take the court for the first time in two years. He underwent a knee surgery in January of 2018, but various setbacks have kept him off the court for 909 days. He finished with five points, two rebounds, one steal in 11 minutes during Friday's scrimmage. His game doesn't really translate well into fantasy hoops, but it's great to see Roberson back on the court.
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Andre Roberson (knee) was able to go through practice on Friday, according to head coach Billy Donovan. "He participated in everything," Donovan said. Roberson has been banged up for quite some time, so it's nice to see him back on the court. It was reported that Roberson was ready to play around mid-June after not playing since the 2017-2018 season. It's unclear where he'll fit into the rotation, but the Thunder might be careful with him right away. Roberson brings elite defense to the table, but his fantasy value could be limited since he might only see minutes in the teens.
Andre Roberson Believes He's Finally Ready To Play
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Andre Roberson (knee) says that he was ready to play when the league went on hiatus. He is recovering from left knee surgery and has not played an NBA game since the 2017 season. There is a good chance that he'll be available for the organization in July. The Thunder are likely going to be cautious and have a minutes limit on Roberson. He won't have great fantasy value right away, but will give a nice lift to the Thunder defense.
Andre Roberson Believes He's Ready for Game Action
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Andre Roberson (knee) mentioned during a podcast appearance that he's ready to return to game action. He has not played in an NBA game in over two calendar years. He has missed almost all of this season while he recovers from a left knee injury. Roberson doesn't offer much upside in terms of offense, but he's a solid defensive player. He could have some value in deep leagues, but it's unclear when the NBA is going to resume play. It sounds like Roberson is eager to get back on the floor, so hopefully the NBA can get back to action soon.
Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Andre Roberson (knee) is expected to suit up for Sunday's scrimmage. Roberson has been sidelined since January of 2018, so head coach Billy Donovan is going to limit him. Roberson is back to training camp and doing basketball activities. The Thunder aren't going to rush him back, so there will likely be limits on him. This team is more focused on the future, so trading Roberson is not out of the question. He doesn't offer much upside in terms of scoring the basketball. Roberson can be ignored in most fantasy formats besides deep leagues.
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Andre Roberson (knee) could still be able to return this season, according to head coach Billy Donovan.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Andre Roberson (knee) will not play during the upcoming three-game road trip (Tuesday verus the Lakers, Wednesday versus the Clippers or Sunday versus the Suns). The next chance Roberson will get is next Tuesday against the Blazers. Josh Huestis started on Sunday night but failed to score a single point and grabbed just one rebound in 19 minutes. Alex Abrines scored three points and one rebound in 15 minutes off the bench. Avoid this situation in fantasy and hope Roberson is back soon.
Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forwardAndre Roberson (knee) will not play against the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday. He has patellar tendinitis, so this injury is likely just wear and tear. Owners shouldn't be too worried about Roberson missing significant time. Josh Huestis should see plenty of time on the court on Sunday. Alex Abrines and Jerami Grant are expected to see more minutes as well. The trio should see plenty of minutes with Roberson and Paul George (knee) inactive.
Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Andre Roberson (ankle) will start against the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday. The game notes had Roberson listed as out as of Thursday, but clearly that has changed. The Thunder will have Roberson on a minutes restriction after missing two games with an ankle injury. Alex Abrines, who played 32 minutes in a start on Wednesday, will now head back to the bench. Roberson could be difficult to trust in DFS on Friday with a minutes limit.
