After missing the Thunder’s last six games due to a left ankle sprain and the birth of his twin girls on Saturday, Russell Westbrook is back.
The Thunder announced before Monday’s game against Sacramento that Westbrook was available. Westbrook will not be on a minutes restriction.
Westbrook has played in only seven of the Thunder’s 15 games this season. The Thunder is 5-2 with him in the lineup, including a 122-116 win against the Pelicans on Nov. 5, the last time Westbrook played.
Hamidou Diallo will start for the second consecutive game at shooting guard for Terrance Ferguson, who is still away from the team for personal reasons.
