Roberson (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's matchup with the Spurs, Anthony Slater of the Oklahoman reports.
EDGE Analysis
Robertson sprained his ankle in Friday's game against the Timberwolves, and was unable to return. He is officially questionable Saturday, and will likely be a true game-time decision. Randy Foye is already listed as out for the game, so if Robertson cannot go look for Randy Foye and Anthony Morrow to see a much heavier workload than normal. Expect an update on Roberson's status closer to tip-off.

Roberson will not return to Friday's matchup with the Timberwolves due to a left ankle sprain.
EDGE Analysis
Roberson exits Friday's contest with two points, four rebounds, and one steal, and one block in 14 minutes of action. The severity of his ankle sprain is currently unknown, but he will likely be on the more doubtful side of questionable for Saturday's matchup with the Spurs. Expect an update on his status prior to tip-off.

Roberson missed all four of his shots and all three of his three points but did collect seven rebounds in 22 minutes during Wednesday's loss to the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
Roberson is merely a de-facto starter at this point and is getting comfortable in his nearly non-existent role in the Thunder offense. After going scoreless just twice in first 44 games this season, he's posted a goose egg in three of his previous six contests. Roberson is a fantasy non-factor at this point.

Roberson (knee) recorded four points (1-5 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, and one block in 21 minutes during the Thunder's 116-103 win against the Mavericks on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Roberson missed 10 games over the last month with a sprained knee, but re-claimed his spot as a starter on Wednesday. Still, he is not receiving playing time for his ability to fill up a stat sheet, but for what he brings to the table defensively. Roberson is averaging 4.9 points, 3.3 rebounds, 0.9 steals, 0.8 assists, and 0.7 blocks in 22 minutes per game this season.

Roberson will return to the starting lineup Wednesday against Dallas, Royce Young of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Roberson will return to the floor for the first time in a calendar month after being sidelined with a knee injury, which kept him out of Oklahoma City's last 10 games. He'll take over the starting shooting guard spot from the struggling Dion Waiters, though coach Billy Donovan told reporters Wednesday that the decision did not come as a result of Waiters' poor play. "It has less to do with Dion and more to do with [Roberson]," Donovan said. Roberson, arguably the Thunder's top perimeter defender, likely won't see an overly high minutes total in his first game back, and despite starting all 45 games in which he's played this season, Roberson was only averaging 21.7 minutes per game prior to the injury. In those 45 games, Roberson posted averages of 4.5 points and 3.3 rebounds, making him a fantasy non-factor on most nights.

Roberson (knee) is expected to play Wednesday against Dallas, Inside Thunder reports.
EDGE Analysis
Roberson has missed roughly a month with a sprained knee, but he returned to practice last week and was officially active Sunday against the Cavs, though he did not play. Assuming Roberson will actually be available this time around, it's unclear whether he'll come off the bench or return to the starting lineup. Should the latter be the case, Dion Waiters would slide back into a reserve role.

Roberson (knee) didn't end up seeing the court in Sunday's 115-92 loss to the Cavaliers, but is expected to return to action at some point of the Thunder's two-game road trip that begins Wednesday against the Mavericks, Anthony Slater of The Oklahoman reports.
EDGE Analysis
Roberson was active for Sunday's contest for the first time since hurting his knee back on Jan. 24 against the Nets, but because of his lack of recent practice time, coach Billy Donovan didn't feel comfortable calling the 24-year-old's number. The Thunder continued to start Dion Waiters at shooting guard Sunday, but if Roberson successfully completes Tuesday's practice without incident, he could reclaim starting duties as soon as Wednesday.

Roberson (knee) is active for Sunday's game against Cleveland, Erik Horne of The Oklahoman reports.
EDGE Analysis
Roberson has been sidelined for nearly a month due to a sprained knee and he hadn't been cleared for contact as of Thursday. However, the defensive-minded Roberson will be active and available off the bench Sunday while Dion Waiters continues to start at shooting guard.

Roberson (knee) has yet to be cleared for contact, Erik Horne of The Oklahoman reports. "He's progressing," coach Billy Donovan said. "How far he is from playing, I'm not really sure, but I know he's getting a lot better and they keep adding more and more things for him to do."
EDGE Analysis
Roberson, who sprained his right knee on Jan. 26 against the Knicks, hasn't practiced with the team since suffering the injury, so it looks like the three-week recovery timetable he was given was overly optimistic. The Thunder will continue to start Dion Waiters and shooting guard until Roberson is cleared to return.

Roberson (knee) has been diagnosed with a right knee sprain and is expected to miss at least three weeks, Anthony Slater of The Oklahoman reports.
EDGE Analysis
While the Thunder will certainly miss their starting shooting guard, the good news is an MRI on Monday afternoon confirmed that Roberson will not require surgery. Roberson will target a mid-February return, with the likes of Kyle Singler and Dion Waiters expected to see increased minutes in his place. It was Singler who started the second half of Sunday's game against Brooklyn in Roberson's place, so he would appear to be the more likely of the two to step in as the interim starter.
