"Terry Roberts was the victim of a crime on Sunday morning in Philadelphia, and we are in the process of gathering more information about the incident. He is currently in stable condition, and he is expected to make a full recovery. Our thoughts are with him and family at this time. Due to the ongoing law enforcement investigation, we will have no further comment."

The guard, who stated that he is eager to make his return to the courts, is averaging 6.2 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game in the G-League.
