The hits just keep on coming across the league.
Last night, OKC Thunder forward Andre Roberson fell awkwardly after rising up down the baseline and immediately winced in pain - the diagnosis: a torn patellar tendon, effectively ending his season:
It cannot be understated how extremely valuable Roberson is to OKC's strong defense. A primary stopper & supplemental defensive anchor (next to Steven Adams & Paul George), his ability to play harass offensive players into difficult nights gives the Thunder another dynamic.
Expect rookie Terrance Ferguson to get the first crack at Roberson's starting two spot - Ferguson filled in earlier this year when Roberson was sidelined.
