Russell Westbrook exits Game 3 as Nuggets suffer injuries and heavy loss

Foot inflammation forced Westbrook out, while Porter Jr. played through pain. Nuggets now trail the Clippers 2-1

Russell Westbrook left Game 3 due to left foot inflammation, worsening the injury crisis for the Denver Nuggets. The team collapsed 117-83 in LA, trailing 2-1 in the series.

Michael Porter Jr. played through a painful shoulder sprain, admitting he was only at 20-30% and uncertain for Game 4: “If I can help, I’ll play. If not, there’s no point.”

Despite Jokic’s historic triple-double, Denver struggled. Porter was clearly limited, and the Clippers dominated from three-point range to seal a crucial win.
