Roberson on knee: 'I'm definitely in pain'
The Oklahoma City Thunder could be down a second key defender Tuesday against the New York Knicks after starting guard Andre Roberson left Sunday's game in the first half with a right knee injury.
Roberson was in the wrong place at the wrong time as point guard Russell Westbrook tumbled into Roberson's right leg after falling to the floor attempting a reverse layup. Roberson's knee buckled and he left the game and was unable to return.

Without Roberson and center Steven Adams, who suffered a right elbow strain during warmups before Friday's game at Dallas, Oklahoma City's defense disintegrated in a 116-106 loss to the 12-win Brooklyn Nets.
It is not yet apparent how long, if at all, Roberson will be out. It appears he will have an MRI exam Monday. Following Sunday's game, Roberson said he was "definitely in pain," but did not how the severity of the injury.
