The Oklahoma City Thunder's perimeter lineup is getting thinner by the day.

Andre Roberson - who has appeared at the shooting guard and small forward spots for the Thunder - will not play against the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday night due to the flu, according to The Oklahoman's Anthony Slater.

This will mark the 23-year-old's first absence of the 2015-16 campaign after having missed 57 games over the previous two seasons.

The third-year pro will be replaced by Kyle Singler, as fellow small forward Kevin Durant continues to recover from a recent hamstring injury.

Roberson is averaging 5.3 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 0.7 assists through his team's first 10 games.
