Russell Westbrook dislocated a finger on his right hand late in Wednesday’s loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, sending the Washington Wizards guard jogging off the floor into the locker room early.
He didn’t return, and Westbrook said he has “no idea” if the injury will force him to miss time.
“We’ll see,” Westbrook said postgame. “That shit hurt. Should be all right.”
Westbrook doesn’t play back-to-backs, so he’ll miss one of Washington’s Friday or Saturday games, if not both after the hand injury. Without Westbrook in the lineup, Raul Neto should see a surge in minutes.
