Roberts (hamstring) will not play in Friday's preseason finale against the Timberwolves.

EDGE Analysis

The Hornets are continuing to be cautious with Roberts, who is expected to be the third-string point guard this season behind starter Kemba Walker and backup Ramon Sessions. While Roberts will likely be healthy for the team's regular season opener on Wednesday, it's likely he would be in for a dose of limited minutes for that game and the start of the season.
