More on this storyline

Andre Roberson: It was nice to do that, but at the same time, it was like... Do I wanna continue to play basketball or do I wanna head in a different direction in terms of finding a new career? So, I had to definitely sit down myself. And, a lot of conversations with my girlfriend in terms of just, I'm finally in a good spot. Do I wanna go back out there and risk being injured again potentially, not to say it happened, but, it's always that possibility any time you step back on the floor. And just going out there and pursuing it. So I'm 32 years old, not necessarily ready to retire and move on. So, that's why I'm back here now. So, going out there at the same time, I didn't want necessarily have the injury take me away. I wanted to walk away myself. So, that's like a lot of motivation for me, get back out there and break that narrative. -via HoopsHype / October 7, 2024 Do you think back often to that January night in Detroit? Andre Roberson: 100 percent. I think back to even beyond that too. A lot of things leading up to it now that I kind of know my body and know how things transpired. It's a lot of things that took place. So. I wish I was more aware of and guided in the right direction. But hey, things in life happen for a reason and you gotta roll with the punches. -via HoopsHype / October 7, 2024
