The LA Clippers could be without former MVP Russell Westbrook for multiple weeks after the point guard fractured his left hand in the first half of their 140-115 win against the Washington Wizards on Friday night.
Head coach Ty Lue said that the Clippers were still evaluating the injury. “Just feel bad for Russ right now,” Lue said. “You never want to see a player get hurt. Poole drove around and he tried to deflect it from the back. I think he hit his elbow with his hand. So we don’t know what timetable, don’t know if he needs surgery or anything yet. But he’s out right now. So just trying to figure it out.”
Westbrook, 35, rarely misses time due to injury. But in the second game of the 2014-15 season, Westbrook broke his right hand. He underwent surgery on Nov. 1 and returned to action on Nov. 28, 2014, missing 14 games.
