Roberts signed a two-year, $950,000 deal with Olympiacos B.C. in Greece, freelance reporter David Pick reports. The contract includes a $1 million NBA opt out in between the two seasons.
EDGE Analysis
Roberts spent last season as Kemba Walker's backup in Charlotte, posting 3.5 points, 1.3 assists and 1.0 rebounds across 10.1 minutes per game while shooting 37.7 percent from the field and 38.6 percent from deep. The 31-year-old will test his luck overseas, with his contract structure giving him a shot at returning to the NBA during the 2018-19 season.

Roberts will start at point guard for Monday's game against the Bucks, Bucks play-by-play announcer Ted Davis reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kemba Walker is going to miss the last two games of the season to rest an ailing knee, so Roberts will get the first shot at replacing him in the top unit. It will mark Roberts first start of the season and should mean a bump in his overall playing time. That said, Briante Weber is the younger player and the Hornets could try and get a better look at him with extended playing time at point guard since the team has already been eliminated from the playoffs.

Roberts is no longer listed on the team's official injury report, Stephanie Ready of Fox Sports Southeast reports.
EDGE Analysis
Roberts was sidelined during Friday's contest as a result of personal reasons but it looks as if he'll be ready to go for Sunday's contest against the Thunder. The team has remained relatively mum regarding his status, but with his name no longer listed on the injury report the expectation is that he'll be at the very minimum available for Sunday.

Roberts did not participate in shootaround and is questionable for Friday's game against the Nuggets due to personal reasons.
EDGE Analysis
Roberts has been in and out of the rotation as of late, as he and Briante Weber have essentially traded off playing the role of Kemba Walker's backup point guard. Should Roberts miss Friday's contest, look for Weber to serve that role Friday and play around 15 minutes off the bench.

Roberts collected 15 points (5-8 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four assists, one rebound and one steal across 24 minutes in Friday's 121-81 victory over the Magic.
EDGE Analysis
Friday night was the first night all season that Roberts has contributed more than 10 points in a game, as his shot came alive behind the arc (100 percent from three) and from the charity stripe (100 percent from the free-throw line). Although this was a solid performance from Roberts, it is hard seeing him follow it up anytime soon with his lack of minutes (8.5 minutes per game this season) and his unusually low efficiency from the floor.

Roberts scored eight points (2-3 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT) to go with two assists across 10 minutes in a 105-99 loss to the 76ers on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
With Ramon Sessions (knee) likely out until late March while recovering from surgery to repair a torn left meniscus, Roberts has settled in as the main backup to starting point guard Kemba Walker over the last seven contests. Roberts hasn't seen more than 15 minutes in any of those games, and that figures to remain the case so long as Walker is able to stay relatively healthy. Feel free to continue ignoring Roberts, even in most deeper leagues.

Roberts (coach's decision) didn't see the floor in a 110-107 loss to the Knicks on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Roberts was held out of Monday's game against the Wizards while dealing with the illness, but he's been available for both of the Hornets' subsequent two contests. However, Roberts hasn't picked up any minutes in either game, as both were fairly competitive and prompted coach Steve Clifford to roll out his normal rotation. As the third-string point guard, Roberts is only likely to make appearances in garbage time of games.

Roberts will not be available for Monday's game against the Wizards.
EDGE Analysis
The reserve guard came down with an illness Monday morning, and the team will hold him out of action, meaning they'll be slightly shorthanded at point guard. Roberts usually serves as the team's third point guard behind Kemba Walker and Ramon Sessions, but he's seen mostly garbage time minutes of late and has racked up seven DNP-CDs in January alone.

Roberts (coach's decision) didn't see the floor in a 108-98 loss to the Celtics on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Roberts hasn't appeared in any of the Hornets' last three games and has made only 10 appearances all season, despite not having dealt with any reported injuries since the Oct. 26 opener. As the third-string option at point guard, Roberts isn't expected to pick up minutes outside of blowout wins or losses, or if either Kemba Walker or Ramon Sessions are dealing with injuries.

Roberts (coach's decision) didn't leave the bench in Friday's 113-111 overtime loss to the Knicks.
EDGE Analysis
With Friday's game proving competitive throughout, Roberts unsurprisingly didn't take the floor. He's made just two appearances in the Hornets' 15 games this season and will continue to remain on the outside of coach Steve Clifford's rotation so long as both Kemba Walker and Ramon Sessions are healthy.
