It’s been a long road back for Terry Roberts, who’s been with the organization since 2023. His career was put on hold after he suffered a near-fatal gunshot wound that left him on a ventilator. The shooting cut his 2023–24 season short, where he posted 15 points and 10 rebounds in his final game with the Long Island Nets before the incident.

He managed to make a full recovery and return for last season's G League campaign, where he averaged 6.7 points, 5.2 assists and 3.8 rebounds per game.
