Russell Westbrook News
Los Angeles Clippers guard Russell Westbrook (hand) underwent hand surgery back on March 4 and there was initial hope that he would return before the playoffs started. Head coach Tyronn Lue gave an update on Sunday and said Westbrook was "continuing to improve," but there was still no timetable for his return. The former MVP last played on March 1 before hurting his hand. Before that, he didn't miss a single game and since then, the Clippers have been an even 4-4 while he's watched from the sidelines. Westbrook most likely won't be back for the fantasy playoffs, but there's still a chance he's back before the NBA Playoffs kick off.
Los Angeles Clippers guard Russell Westbrook (hand) underwent surgery on Monday. The 35-year-old fractured his left hand on Friday night versus the Washington Wizards. He's expected to make a complete recovery, and there is hope he'll be back before the postseason commences. Nonetheless, Westbrook is nowhere near the player he once was. He's averaged a career-low 11.1 points with 5.1 rebounds, 4.4 assists, and 1.1 steals this season. As a result, fantasy managers can drop him from the roster.
Los Angeles Clippers point guard Russell Westbrook will be out indefinitely after fracturing his left hand in Friday's 140-115 win over Washington. The former MVP managed to log 10 minutes in the contest, registering six points and an assist with 2-for-3 shooting. Westbrook has been one of the most productive bench players in the league this season, averaging 11.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 4.4 assists with 1.1 steals. With Westbrook on the shelf, Bones Hyland looks set to re-enter the rotation. He made his first appearance since Jan. 31 on Friday, finishing with two points and seven assists in 16 minutes.
Los Angeles Clippers point guard Russell Westbrook is set to start his first full season with the team and head coach Tyronn Lue has no plans to change his role, meaning the former MVP will stick with the starting unit. "I view him as a starter, view him as a starter and, you know, kind of just see how it plays out," Lue said of Westbrook. "... We needed his energy, we needed his firepower and so he was really good for us. My vision right now is to stay how we were before PG got hurt and see what happens." Westbrook dropped to the bench whilst with the Lakers last season but started all 21 games with the Clippers after switching teams in February. He averaged 15.8 points, 4.9 rebounds and 7.9 assists with the team. However, Westbrook played only 230 minutes together with Paul George and Kawhi Leonard, and we didn't really get a clear picture of how things work between the three superstars. If the chemistry isn't there, Lue will be forced to rethink his initial plan.
