Andre Roberson took the floor during the Thunder’s first practice in Orlando. According to coach Donovan, he was able to fully participate in practice and that he looked” really good.” Roberson’s last game was played in January 2018, where he suffered a terrible injury rupturing his patellar tendon in his left knee.

Fantasy Impact:
In addition to potentially returning during unforeseen circumstances (pandemic and social unrest), Roberson is in the final year of his contract, creating extra motivation on both sides (the player and the organization) to get him on the court. During the 2017-18 season, Roberson played in 39 contests for the Thunder and averaged 26.6 minutes of playing time, 5.0 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1.2 steals, and .9 blocks per game. Should he continue to show signs of full rehabilitation and rejoin the team, he would be able to bolster the Thunder’s defense with his defensive prowess. Roberson appears to play a conservative game with a high emphasis on efficiency, his ability to stuff the stat-sheet makes him an intriguing fantasy asset. He should certainly be on your radar for deep-league play potential; however, it could be a while before he sees meaningful minutes and re-integrates himself into the team as a source of viable production.
