It was a long spring for Andre Roberson. The summer seems to be passing by a little bit quicker, and for good reason. The season, and his chance to compete again, are right around the corner.
Recovering from a ruptured patellar tendon while the Thunder still hunted for playoff positioning all of February, March and April tested Roberson’s patience. Even more frustrating was watching his team fall to the Utah Jazz in the first round of the postseason. Roberson grew a beard, gritted his teeth and went through rehab. He’s been poked and prodded, evaluated and re-evaluated.
At the beginning of August, he joined some teammates in Los Angeles for informal workouts, participating in what he could.
