Thunder forward Andre Roberson suffers setback during recovery

Share

The Thunder are already dealing with some key injuries.

On Thursday night, we learned some disappointing information:

Roberson ruptured his left patellar tendon back in late January and missed the remainder of the season.

When Roberson went down, the Thunder boasted the fifth best defensive rating in the league.

Over the final 33 games of the regular season, Oklahoma City's defense slipped to 15th.

Additionally, Russell Westbrook underwent right knee surgery on Sept. 12 and is expected to be re-evaluated next Wednesday.

His status for the season opener against the Warriors on Oct. 16 is up in the air.

Don't be surprised if the Thunder get off to somewhat of a slow start...
