San Antonio Spurs power forward Isaiah Roby has impressed the team's coaching staff in training camp. Head coach Gregg Popovich mentioned that Roby moves really well for a big man and has good athleticism. The 24-year-old could find himself with legitimate playing time in San Antonio. This team is rebuilding, which means Roby should have a decent role to begin the season. Jakob Poeltl is the starter, but he could be on the trade block as well. Roby could find himself competing with Zach Collins for backup minutes right away.

The Oklahoma City Thunder have moved on from center Isaiah Roby, who started 62 games over the past two seasons. Roby was limited by injuries last year, but he ultimately averaged 10.1 points and 4.8 rebounds over 45 contests. A second-round pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, Roby benefited from a thin Thunder frontcourt, which has recently been bolstered by the selection of Chet Holmgren, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft. Jeremiah Robinson-Earl is likely to serve as Holmgren's primary backup, while Roby will be free to sign with a new team moving forward.

The Oklahoma City Thunder have exercised their team option worth $1.9 million on forward/center Isaiah Roby. The 24-year-old will be back in Oklahoma City for the fourth consecutive season in 2022-23. Roby has shown some promising flashes when given the playing time over the past few years. He scored a career-high 30 points in an overtime win against the Portland Trail Blazers this past March. He also compiled eight rebounds, four three-pointers, four assists, two blocks and two steals in the contest. His outlook for playing time isn't as strong going into this next year now that the team has brought in Chet Holmgren, but Roby is still someone to keep an eye on as he has a very fantasy-friendly game.

Oklahoma City Thunder center Isaiah Roby led the charge during Monday's win over Portland, compiling a career-best 30 points on an elite 11-for-13 shooting performance. Roby, who shot just 29.4% from three last season, has flipped the script on his outside game this year, knocking down triples at a 44.3% rate. He went 4-for-5 from behind the arc against the Blazers en route to his third straight contest scoring in double figures. In addition to the scoring production, Roby added eight rebounds, four assists, two steals, and two blocks, compiling the best all-around performance of his young career. OKC figures to be a unit in flux over its final seven games, but Roby could stand to be the most appealing DFS asset if widespread injuries persist.

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Isaiah Roby (back) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He dropped 21 points and 10 rebounds on Friday, but missed action after that. Hopefully this lingering back issue won't cause him to miss anymore time. Fantasy managers in deep leagues should consider streaming Roby, assuming he's back on Tuesday. Otherwise, Darius Bazley, Vit Krejci, and Aaron Wiggins should continue seeing significant minutes. Both Bazley and Wiggins have seen bigger roles in OKC lately, but have limited value.

Oklahoma City Thunder center Isaiah Roby (ankle) has been cleared to play in Friday's contest against the 76ers and head coach Mark Daigneault has confirmed that he will be a member of the team's rotation. Roby has not seen game action since Jan. 2 due to a sprained right ankle. With the OKC frontcourt currently down Mike Muscala (ankle), Roby has the opportunity to step into a sizable role in the near future. Prior to being injured, Roby had made four consecutive starts for the Thunder; on the season, he has shot 56 percent from the floor overall. While he remains on the outside looking in of season-long relevance at this stage, Roby is a name to watch in deeper formats come the second half of the year.

Oklahoma City Thunder center Isaiah Roby (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's contest against the Kings, marking his 16th consecutive absence due to a sprained right ankle. Roby ripped off four consecutive starts before the injury bug struck, so he will be a name to keep an eye on whenever he is ultimately cleared to return to action. For now, Mamadi Diakite has emerged as the Thunder's preferred option at center with Mike Muscala continuing to snag a solid minutes and usage total off the bench. There has been no clear timeline established for Roby, which should allow him to stay on the waiver wire for the time being.

Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Isaiah Roby will come off the bench in Wednesday's game against the Jazz. It's a bit of a surprise, as the rebuilding Thunder opted to go with the veteran Derrick Favors over the younger Roby- though head coach Mark Daigneault noted that the veteran's return to Utah played a part in him starting the contest. Fantasy managers who invested in Roby may want to wait to start him, but he should crack the starting five eventually, as he averaged nearly a double-double with a block and steal per 36 minutes last year.
