Los Angeles Clippers guard Russell Westbrook recently underwent surgery on his fractured left hand following an injury sustained during a game against the Washington Wizards. The team has stated that Westbrook's recovery timeline is currently classified as week to week.
The incident occurred during the Clippers' 140-115 victory over the Wizards, where Westbrook broke his hand while attempting to disrupt a play involving Washington's Jordan Poole. This marked the first game Westbrook had missed this season due to injury, having previously played in every game for the Clippers.
As a key player for the team, Westbrook's absence was felt as the Clippers faced off against the Milwaukee Bucks, with Westbrook sidelined for a second consecutive game. The 35-year-old guard has been contributing an average of 11.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 4.4 assists per game this season, playing an average of 22.6 minutes.
Westbrook's injury and subsequent surgery have raised concerns among fans and analysts about the impact on the Clippers' performance in upcoming games. The team will need to adjust their strategies and lineup to compensate for Westbrook's absence on the court.
Despite this setback, Westbrook remains determined to recover swiftly and return to the game as soon as possible. The Clippers organization is providing him with the necessary support and medical care to facilitate his rehabilitation process.
