Roberts (hamstring) is expected to play in Wednesday's season opener against the Hornets, barring a setback, Rick Bonnell of the Charlotte Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

A hamstring injury has sidelined Roberts for the better part of the last two weeks, but coach Steve Clifford said Tuesday that Roberts is trending in the right direction. The team will evaluate him one final time at shootaround Wednesday, but at this point it appears the veteran will be available off the bench Wednesday night.
