At his preseason news conference on Thursday, Thunder general manager Sam Presti said Andre Roberson will be a non-contact participant to start Thunder preseason.
Presti said Roberson is back on the floor and will go through non-contact parts of training camp, which starts Sept. 25. There is no exact time when Roberson will get back to contact.
“He's doing a lot more this week than he was last week," Presti said. "He's through the hardest part of this recovery process.
"We don't think we will be without him very long."
Roberson is close to eight months removed from rupturing the patellar tendon in his left knee.
