Houston Rockets star Russell Westbrook may miss multiple games in their first-round playoff series with the Oklahoma City Thunder with a strained right quadriceps, per the Houston Chronicle’s Jonathan Feigen.
Westbrook suffered the injury three games into the restart. He returned against the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday, collecting 20 points, six assists and five rebounds in 28 minutes of defeat. After feeling no ill-effect in the immediate aftermath of the game, he expected to be ready for the playoffs. According to Feigen, the former MVP woke up sore on Wednesday, and an MRI revealed a strain concerning enough to sideline him.
