Thunder's Andre Roberson: Plays 29 minutes in return

Roberson (illness) returned to the starting lineup and played 29 minutes and recorded eight points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, and one steal in Wednesday's win over the Pelicans.

The minutes and rebounds were season highs for Roberson, who sat out the Thunder's previous game Monday against the Grizzlies with the flu. Roberson offers strong defense on the wing for the Thunder, but with Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant (when healthy) dominating most of the team's offensive production, there's little opportunity for Roberson to emerge as a double-digit scorer in the lineup.
