Oklahoma City Thunder guard Andre Roberson suffered a second setback with his left knee injury this week, a team spokesman told ESPN's Royce Young. Roberson suffered a small avulsion fracture after landing from a jump and will be re-evaluated in six weeks.
Roberson hasn't played since Jan. 18 of last season, when he ruptured his left patellar tendon in a game against the Detroit Pistons. Friday's development follows another setback in October, after which he was scheduled to be re-evaluated in early December.
While a limited player offensively, Roberson is one of the NBA's elite wing defenders. With him on the floor last season, Oklahoma City allowed 11.2 fewer points per 100 possessions (96.4), with that number soaring to 107.6 points when he sat.
