Damn It Looks Like Russell Westbrook Messed Up His Ankle

Godddddd dammit. I had this game on my second screen with the Celts playing and when I saw this happen I cringed. After missing the first few games of the season Westbrook has been playing great as of late so to see him go down here sucks. I think that looks like his ankle, but it wouldn’t shock me if it was his knee either. Anyway you slice it, this sucks not only for Thunder fans but basketball fans. This team is drastically different when Westbrook is not in the lineup, let’s just say Dennis Schroder and Raymond Felton aren’t exactly what you want for a long stretch of time. Given that OKC had also been rolling, winners of four straight, this is a blow they definitely didn’t need. Already without Andre Roberson for a little while with his knee issue, this just sucks all around.

I’m hoping it’s nothing serious, and there isn’t a tougher sonofabitch than Russell Westbrook. The good news is the Thunder are entering a soft part of their schedule, with CLE/HOU/DAL/PHX/NYK/PHX/SAC up next. That’s nearly two weeks to handle any missed time by Westbrook as long as it’s not super fucked up. For the love of God though, the Injury Gods need to chill the hell out
