  • Clippers' Russell Westbrook: Posts 14 points in return

    Westbrook (hand) recorded 14 points (5-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), seven assists and four rebounds across 18 minutes in Monday's 133-116 loss to the Pacers.

    Westbrook missed the Clippers' previous 12 games due to a fractured left hand but was sharp in his return Monday, scoring at nearly a point-per-minute pace. The veteran point guard also tied for the team lead with seven dimes, despite playing under 20 minutes. Westbrook will continue to come off the bench as a second-unit spark plug now that he's health again, but he's uncertain to see a dramatic uptick in playing time when all of James Harden, Kawhi Leonard and Paul George are available. For the season, Westbrook is averaging a career-low 22.6 minutes per contest.

  • Clippers' Russell Westbrook: Officially active Monday

    Westbrook (hand) has been cleared for Monday's game against Indiana, Mark Medina of NBA.com reports. He will not face a minutes restriction.

    Westbrook will take the court for the first time since March 1 after suffering a fractured hand. Coach Tyronn Lue expressed his excitement to have Westbrook's energy and "pop" back in the lineup, and Westbrook has been diligently maintaining his conditioning while sidelined, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.

  • Clippers' Russell Westbrook: Officially questionable

    Westbrook (hand) is questionable for Monday's game against the Pacers, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

    Westbrook is expected to make his return from a 12-game absence but likely won't be cleared until he goes through his pregame routine. If cleared, the dynamic point guard figures to play around 20 minutes off the bench. Since being moved to a reserve role in mid-November, Westbrook has averaged 10.4 points, 4.7 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.0 steals in 20.9 minutes per game.

  • Clippers' Russell Westbrook: Poised to return Monday

    Westbrook (hand) is expected to return to action Monday against the Pacers, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.

    The Clippers have yet to officially clear Westbrook for the second leg of a back-to-back set following Sunday's 121-107 loss to the 76ers, but all signs point to the veteran point guard being ready to go after he missed the past three weeks while recovering from surgery on his fractured left hand. Over his five post-All-Star break appearances before suffering the injury, Westbrook averaged 7.4 points, 2.2 assists, 1.8 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 16.8 minutes per contest, a level of playing time and production that probably renders him more of a 14-team league commodity. He should reclaim backup point guard duties Monday after the Clippers relied primarily on Bones Hyland to handle that role during Westbrook's absence.

  • Clippers' Russell Westbrook: Nearing return

    Westbrook (hand) is expected to return to game action next week, perhaps as soon as Monday's matchup versus the Pacers, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

    Westbrook had surgery to repair his fractured left hand three weeks ago and is already nearing a return, though he probably still has a few hurdles to clear in his recovery. Even if Westbrook suits up next week, he'll likely be limited off the bench, so his fantasy value remains stunted. On the season, Westbrook is averaging 11.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.6 three-pointers in 22.6 minutes while shooting 45.2 percent from the field and 67.7 percent from the free-throw line.

  • Clippers' Russell Westbrook: Has surgery, hopeful for playoffs

    Westbrook underwent surgery on his fractured left hand Monday, and the Clippers are hopeful that he'll return before the start of the playoffs, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

    As expected, Westbrook will miss most, if not all, of the rest of the regular season after fracturing his hand during Friday's blowout win over the Wizards. In Westbrook's absence, Norman Powell and Bones Hyland saw increased roles off the bench versus Minnesota on Sunday, and that trend could continue in the weeks to come. The Clippers may want to see Westbrook return for the final few games of the regular season to get a rhythm ahead of the postseason, but the veteran point guard can be dropped in every standard fantasy league at this point.

  • Clippers' Russell Westbrook: Suffers left hand fracture

    Westbrook sustained a fractured left hand in Friday's game against the Wizards and won't return, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports. He contributed six points (1-3 FG), four rebounds and one steal in 10 minutes.

    The Clippers likely won't release an official timeline for Westbrook's recovery until a determination is made whether or not he'll require surgery, but even if he avoids an operation, he's still likely to miss multiple weeks with the broken hand. His expected absence could open up a spot in the rotation for Bones Hyland on the second unit. Given the nature of the injury as well as his underwhelming numbers in recent weeks, Westbrook looks safe to drop in most season-long leagues.

  • Clippers' Russell Westbrook: Rough shooting night in loss

    Westbrook posted eight points (3-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three assists, three steals and two rebounds in the Clippers' 116-112 loss to the Lakers on Wednesday.

    Despite a poor night shooting, the 2016-17 MVP chipped in three steals to the defensive effort, a significant contribution compared to the 1.0 steals he has averaged coming off the bench. Westbrook played 17 minutes Wednesday, a decline from the 22.3 minutes he has been averaging in February. In Paul George's brief absence (knee), Terance Mann has averaged 26.8 minutes, with sixth-man Norman Powell averaging 26.6 minutes as well. With George expected to return to the lineup soon, expect Westbrook's playing time to decline as Mann and Powell continue to receive significant opportunities.
