Late scratch Sunday Roby won't play Sunday against the Jazz due to lower-back soreness, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.

Impact Roby was slated to start once again Sunday, but he was scratched with less than an hour remaining before the start of the game. Aaron Wiggins will join the starting lineup, while Darius Bazley will shift to the center position. It's not yet clear whether Roby will be able to play Tuesday against Milwaukee.

Rotational Ripple: Isaiah Roby and The Underlying Tale of Oklahoma City's Rebuild Despite sporadic minutes, Isaiah Roby has made the most out of his opportunities this season.

Top Performers: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Isaiah Roby Continue Streak In Loss Even with a 37-point tumble, the Oklahoma City Thunder fielded some success through Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Isaiah Roby on Friday.

Another intriguing performance Roby racked up 21 points (7-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and three steals across 37 minutes during Friday's 138-101 loss to Minnesota.

Impact Roby notched his third double-double of the season Friday, continuing what has been a nice stretch of games. Over the last month, Roby has put up averages of 11.8 points, 6.1 rebounds and 1.8 steals per game, certainly good enough to warrant a roster spot in most 12-team formats. Projecting what happens next in Oklahoma City is basically impossible, but based on what he's displayed recently, he looks to be a solid rest-of-season addition.

WATCH: Isaiah Roby Overpowers Reigning MVP Nikola Jokic Isaiah Roby scores a career high of 26 points against Denver.

MARCH 3, 2022 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Posts career-best 26 points Roby produced 26 points (9-13 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 4-7 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, two blocks and two steals over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 119-107 victory over the Nuggets.

Impact Roby received his sixth start in seven contests and made the most of the opportunity by going off for a career-high point total. The third-year big man hadn't exceeded 17 points in any contest this season prior to Wednesday, so his offensive production in the upset victory appears to be an outlier, especially considering the fact that it came on an unsustainable 4-of-5 mark from three-point range. Roby has some fantasy value for his rebounding and defense when he starts, but don't expect him to be a consistent offensive asset.

Returns to starting lineup Roby is starting Friday's game against Indiana, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.

Impact Roby served as a backup Thursday against the Suns, but he'll return to the starting lineup for the fourth time in the last five games. Derrick Favors will come off the bench.

Coming off bench Roby will come off the bench for Thursday's game against the Suns, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.

Impact Roby started the past three games, but he'll move back to the bench while Derrick Favors starts. As a reserve this season, Roby is averaging 5.9 points and 2.6 rebounds in 11.9 minutes.

FEBRUARY 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Huge game in starting role Roby tallied 17 points (7-19 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 12 rebounds, three steals, one assist and one block across 29 minutes Wednesday in the Thunder's 114-106 loss to the Spurs.

Impact Roby picked up his third consecutive start Wednesday, and after posting some quality defensive production in the first two contests but little to go along with it, the 24-year-old stepped up with a more bountiful stat line against the Spurs. Though he fits the rebuilding Thunder's developmental timeline better than veteran centers Derrick Favors and Mike Muscala (ankle), Roby's playing time and production could have some volatility even if Oklahoma City elects to keep him in the starting five coming out of the All-Star break. Roby has flashed enough upside to make for a worthy flier in 12-team leagues and deeper, but fantasy managers should temper expectations and shouldn't hesitate to cut him loose if his playing time and statistical output starts to trend down when Oklahoma City opens its second-half slate.

Offers defense in starting role Roby finished with seven points (3-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds, three steals, three blocks and one assist in 24 minutes Saturday in the Thunder's 106-101 loss to the Bulls.

Impact After returning in a bench role for Friday's loss to the 76ers following an extended absence due to an ankle sprain, Roby moved up to the top unit with Derrick Favors resting for the second half of the back-to-back set. Roby didn't see many touches on the offensive end during his time on the court, but he was able to salvage his fantasy line with the defensive-stats production. Expect Roby to move into a smaller role off the bench in the Thunder's next game against the Knicks on Monday, when Favors will presumably returns to the lineup.

Starting Saturday Roby will start Saturday's matchup against the Bulls, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.

Impact Derrick Favors is getting the night off, so Roby joins the starters for the first time since Jan. 2. In five starts this season, he's averaged 8.2 points and 4.6 rebounds in 17.8 minutes.

Upgraded to available Roby (ankle) has been upgraded to available for Friday's contest against the 76ers, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.

Impact Roby was initially ruled out again, but he'll be available for the first time in over a month. The third-year big man has made 18 appearances this season, averaging 6.7 points and 3.3 rebounds in 13.7 minutes, but it's unclear if he'll crack the rotation Friday.
