Terrance Ferguson feeling no ill-effects from car accident/Roberson goes through contact

OKLAHOMA CITY — Terrance Ferguson made his first appearance Sunday afternoon following the Thunder’s practice.

Ferguson was involved in a car accident Wednesday evening, causing him to miss Oklahoma City’s preseason finale against the Memphis Grizzlies. The accident — a fender bender where Ferguson was rear-ended — was described as minor per a team spokesman.

The Thunder wing went through practice on Friday but was unavailable to the media due to receiving a post-practice massage. Ferguson was again on the floor Sunday with no restrictions.

“It’s been pretty good to be back on the court,” Ferguson said. “Feeling good with the team. Just excited to be on the floor.”

Ferguson hasn’t noticed any ill-effects during or after practice.

“I feel good,” Ferguson added. “Just getting extra treatment. Just to stop anything before it comes.”

This is right in line with the Thunder’s insistence of being cautious with players coming back from injury. The first player that comes to mind — Andre Roberson.

Donovan mentioned that Roberson did more today at practice.

“He actually went through contact today and did some physical stuff in practice,” Donovan said.
Donovan was unable to confirm Roberson’s status for the Thunder’s regular season opener against the Utah Jazz on Wednesday.
