Andre Roberson will not play in the Blue & White Scrimmage Sunday, the Thunder announced before the game.
He participated in parts of practice before the scrimmage, but OKC is taking a conservative approach to easing him back on the court. Roberson practiced this week with no restrictions, according to Thunder coach Billy Donovan. Roberson has not played a competitive game since rupturing his left patellar tendon in January 2018.
Roberson’s status for Tuesday’s preseason game against Dallas in Tulsa is yet to be determined.
