Almost a year after Andre Roberson ruptured his left patellar tendon, he is “not anywhere near playing,” according to Thunder coach Billy Donovan.
“He's worked hard, he's doing all he needs to do,” Donovan said Monday after practice, “but he's still in the rehab process.”
Roberson suffered the initial injury on Jan. 27, but he experienced a setback 6 1/2 weeks ago, when an MRI on Nov. 29 revealed an avulsion fracture in his left knee.
At the time, he was expected to be out for at least six more weeks. There is no timetable for his return, Donovan said Monday.
