The NBA season is back on track, and it looks like Russell Westbrook is too.
According to Kelly Iko of The Athletic, the Houston Rockets star will play in Game 5 against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday, several weeks after straining his right quad.
Russell Westbrook will play in Game 5 on Saturday, according to multiple sources. Westbrook was ready and would have played in the originally scheduled game on Wednesday, prior to the walkout.
