Quote: | Russell Westbrook underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right knee Wednesday, a procedure that likely will force him to miss the entire preseason and could sideline him for the Oklahoma City Thunder's first few regular-season games.
Westbrook will be re-evaluated in four weeks |
Quote: | Westbrook experienced some stiffness in the knee over the past week during individual workouts while preparing for training camp. He elected to have a standard scope as a pre-emptive "maintenance" procedure rather than potentially dealing with issues throughout the season. |
Quote: | the situation is not viewed by the team as anything to be alarmed about, with no lingering issues anticipated to follow the procedure. |

How funny is it gonna be for PG13 when he is the only star and Westbrook is out a few months and they miss the playoffs?
How will that "unfinished business" look then moron? _________________ “Always remember... Rumors are carried by haters, spread by fools, and accepted by idiots.” |

The Thunder won't miss the playoffs with Westbrook out just two months if he returns healthy, unless PG also gets hurt for a similar length of their season. What will be interesting is the club's strength at season's close; who finishes ahead of whom, Thunder and Lakers, and how did the clubs fare against each other ?
I'm rooting for the Lakers, but I've been saying for months now: LeBron's resistance to serious injury and to a related absence is only a matter of time. Time always gets its man. _________________ “These GOAT discussions are fun distractions while sitting around waiting for the pizza to be served.”

Fortunately for them they have a real reliable back up PG who can easily slide into a starting role and help the Thunder get some wins while he works to comeback. |
