Andre Roberson Out Tonight Against Mavericks

The Oklahoma City Thunder will continue preseason play tonight against the Dallas Mavericks inside of the American Airlines Center, but OKC will be without defensive stopper Andre Roberson.

Thunder coach Billy Donovan announced today that Roberson would sit out in the game with knee soreness.

Roberson started the first two preseason games in Spain at the small forward position and averaged seven points per game. It's likely Donovan will turn to Alex Abrines, Anthony Morrow or Josh Huestis to start in place of Roberson. Forward Mitch McGary will also sit out tonight against Dallas with foot soreness.
