Even though he signed with the Mavericks, he kept on missing games due to plantar fascitis. By the following year, he was traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder and was shortly assigned to the Oklahoma City Blue.
Roby’s Need for Sleep
Roby is still considered a very young player and has been stressing for 61 games for the last season as a rookie. Because the league was dealing with health protocols, Roby would like to ensure that he gets more sleep during this season. Not only he is living with the pressure to win their every game, but he is still a college student, so he was also seen doing his homework during travel and in his hotel room. There were also some nights that he had to take an examination right after his NBA game.
