Roper

[Catdude]

Did anyone catch what happened to Roper and how long he’s out?

 

[CappyNU]

Nope, but him being in a sling suggests a shoulder injury and that has me worried that it will be a long-term issue a la Drew Crawford. I hope I'm wrong.

Hope it is not a labrum.He would probably be gone for the year.

Think it may have happened in a collision he had diving on the floor against PFW. He looked to be favoring his shoulder but he did re-enter so I don’t know for sure.

This was the cause. Should be short term from what I've heard. We'll need him, for sure.

That's great news. I was hoping he would be more explosive this year on offense but we need his defense and he's a pretty good 3-point shooter.

Yeah, after the collision, he left the court and was escorted out by staff - presumably to be evaluated. He was obviously in a great deal of pain at the time, and didn't return afaik.
