Russell Westbrook keeps hurting his shooting hand

New Houston Rockets superstar Russell Westbrook ran to the locker room in the fourth quarter of a preseason game Friday after suffering an injury to his right hand. The contact appeared to occur as Westbrook spun into the lane and collided with a jumping Duncan Robinson.

The team labeled Westbrook’s injury a “sore right hand,” so he hopefully won’t have to miss any time with the regular season about to begin.

Westbrook will not return with what Rockets called a sore right hand.

Westbrook has already been dealing with issues to his shooting hand this preseason. He played a game against the Spurs with multiple dislocated fingers, according to coach Mike D’Antoni.

Mike D'Antoni said Russell Westbrook has a couple of dislocated fingers. Russ, who had his right pinky wrapped: "It’s all right. I learned a long time ago when I first got in the league, point guard fingers are always going to be f—ed up. That’s just what it is."

Westbrook injured his left hand at the end of last season, and had surgery in May to repair a torn ligament after playing through the issue for several weeks.
