Andre Roberson hasn’t played basketball in a year and a half due to a string of injuries that all started with a left patellar tendon tear.
It has been a long road to recovery for Roberson. After being near to a return for so long, it looks as if he is ready to go for the 2019-2020 season.
Thunder GM Sam Presti stated during media day that Roberson would be ready to go. He ended up fully participating in the opening day of training camp.

Everyone within the Thunder organization is thrilled to have Andre back with the team. Chris Paul even had some words of his own to welcome him back.

While Roberson has certainly faced some backlash from Thunder fans, he is a team favorite in the locker room. He brings another level to the “brotherhood” bond of teammates. Despite how you feel about him on the court, it is excellent news for Thunder fans to have him back with the team.
