Lewis: Terry Roberts’ journey back on track after a near-tragedy in Philadelphia

Terry Roberts, the Long Island Nets point guard, had a good game Tuesday night in the affiliate’s win over the Indiana Mad Ants. He scored 13 points, dished out nine assists, grabbed eight rebounds, shot 3-of-4 from deep and added two steals and a block.

Indeed since taking over from Killian Hayes, the 6’3” 24-year-old has averaged 11.6 points, 8.8 assists, 7.0 rebounds and 3.4. In one of those five games, he had triple double and in another, he was short only two rebounds and an assist.

Not bad for a local tryout, especially considering his breakout coincides with the first anniversary of his very serious brush with death in Philadelphia following a shooting inside a local bar.
