NBA News Roundup, April 5th, 2019: Anthony Davis set to join the Celtics over Lakers, Andre Roberson injury update and more

#1. Andre Roberson's season appears to be over

Oklahoma City Thunder v Phoenix Suns

Andre Roberson hasn't played a single minute of basketball since January 2018. The 27-year-old has repeatedly suffered setbacks in his recovery from a left knee injury (ruptured patellar tendon) and Royce Young is reporting that the OKC Thunder will be without their defensive stopper throughout the postseason:

Billy Donovan says there’s no indication from the team’s medical staff that Andre Roberson is anywhere near a return to game action. He said there was a plan to try and get Roberson some games with the Blue, but that didn’t happen and their season is over now. It is highly unlikely Roberson returns this season, outside of the Thunder making a deep playoff possibly opening the door for it.

Roberson has been a regular starter for the Thunder since 2013. He was named to the 2017 All-Defensive Second Team, and during his absence, OKC's defensive rating has significantly dropped.
