Thunder guard/forward Andre Roberson had arthroscopic surgery Tuesday to relieve synovitis, or inflammation, on his left knee, according to the team.
Roberson is four months removed from surgery to repair a ruptured patellar tendon in his left knee. Rather than wait for the swelling to subside, Roberson, the Thunder and doctors elected to have the procedure in order to remain on an aggressive pace in his rehab.
The procedure was performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache at the Kerlan-Jobe Orthapedic Clinic in Los Angeles, Calif.
Per the Thunder, Roberson's rehabilitation is still on track, and the 25-year-old is projected to be ready for the start of the 2018-19 season.
