Westbrook injury blow for Oklahoma
Print Edition
OKLAHOMA City guard Russell Westbrook underwent surgery to repair a right cheek fracture and will miss the Thunder’s next game, the team announced on Saturday.
Westbrook suffered a knee to the face at the end of Friday’s game against the Portland Trail Blazers, which the Thunder lost, and will miss at least the contest against the Los Angeles Lakers today.
It comes at an inopportune time as Westbrook enjoyed a phenomenal February, averaging 31.2 points, 10.3 assists and 9.1 rebounds.
With reigning MVP Kevin Durant out of Oklahoma City’s lineup due to injury, Westbrook had been carrying the team.
The 26-year-old was named the MVP of last month’s National Basketball Association All Star Game and has thrust his name into league MVP discussions with his play as of late.
Westbrook is averaging 26.5 points, 8.1 assists and 6.8 rebounds on the season for the Thunder, who are currently in the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference.
On the court on Saturday, it was: Hawks 93, Heat 91, Nets 104, Mavericks 94; Knicks 103, Raptors 98; Spurs 101, Suns 74; Jazz 82, Bucks 75; Grizzlies 101, Timberwolves 97; and Wizards 99, Pistons 95.
