If you’ve ever heard the expression turning lemons into lemonade you understand the concept. Take a situation which may not be ideal and shift it into a positive. With news the OKC Thunder super star Russell Westbrook underwent arthroscopic knee surgery on Wednesday, September 12 it’s time for the Thunder to make lemonade.
First of all, this rules out the point guard being available for training camp and most likely missing all of the Thunder’s preseason. For the second year in a row Westbrook will miss this integral segment of the season.
As per the franchise, Wesbrook will be re-evaluated in four weeks which would bring us to a few days prior to season start.
