OKC Thunder: Russell Westbrook's availability for Rocket playoff series still unknown

Russell Westbrook's availability for the Rockets-Thunder playoff series remains unknown.

Houston coach Mike D'Antoni said Monday he didn't have an update on when Westbrook might return from his strained right quadriceps.

"I think either today or tomorrow, the end of the day," D'Antoni said of when he might know more. "Hopefully, I'll know something. Maybe not. y

"I dunno."

Without Westbrook, there will be additional pressure on Rockets sharpshooter James Harden, something the former MVP has shown he can handle. But much of Harden's experience as the lone superstar came before the Rockets went all-in on small ball.
