Thunder continues caution with Andre Roberson as preseason wanes

DALLAS – Andre Roberson balanced on one foot, testing that reconstructed left knee in the halls of the American Airlines Center on Monday night.

Roberson was ruled out against the Mavericks on Monday, and his time to play in preseason isn’t looking likely as the Thunder plays its final preseason game Wednesday against Memphis.

“We’re not going to rush him,” Thunder coach Billy Donovan said Monday.

Roberson went through the first few days of preseason without restrictions, playing in five-on-five as the Thunder went scrimmage heavy to open camp. But for the last week, Donovan said Roberson has been participating with the team, but not all of the contact drills.
