Marc Murphy, the chef and an owner of the Landmarc restaurants in Manhattan, is
roasting turkey breasts in one oven while he braises the legs in the other.

why can't we change roasting to roasts? Both are grammatically correct, and roasting is part of the underline portion of the sentence.

Because the simple present is used to describe universal truths, habits or actions that take place generally

So is this sentence grammatically correct?

Billy Johnson, who is the star player on his high school team, plays basketball every Saturday morning before his commute to work.

isn't "plays" the correct choice?

That is correct, plays is the simple present = eternal states or frequent events; whereas, playing would be the present progressive = ongoing nature of an action, or action that is happening right now.
