There’s no fun in shedding light on an injury to any player, especially one of Russell Westbrook’s caliber, but if there’s any silver lining to it, it’s that the OKC Thunder are playing against sub .500 teams for the next week, allowing some extra time for the star point guard to treat an ailing ankle.
OKC Thunder fans were holding their breath on Monday night as dynamic point guard Russell Westbrook suffered what appeared to be a severe ankle injury against the New Orleans Pelicans.
Westbrook landed on Anthony Davis‘ foot on the way down from a rebound, rolling his left ankle and was immediately seen in visible pain, slapping the floor and screaming so loud it resonated through the TV screen.
