Los Angles, CA (SportsNetwork.com) – The most injury-ridden team in the NBA
might have lost another one of its key pieces on Thursday.
Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook left the game against the
Los Angeles Clippers with a right hand injury and is questionable to return.
Westbrook appeared to get his hand caught on teammate Kendrick Perkins’ torso
while battling for offensive rebounding position midway through the second
quarter. He remained in the game for a possession before removing himself and
heading to the locker room.
The Thunder are already without reigning MVP Kevin Durant, who had foot
surgery during the preseason, along with guards Reggie Jackson, Anthony Morrow
and Jeremy Lamb.
