Is this the play Russell Westbrook got injured on?


Today Thunder fans received one of the worst possible news to date. Russell Westbrook is going to have surgery to repair cartilage in his right knee and will be out indefinitely according to ESPN.com. Above is the play that most believe is when he got injured even though he finished playing the game at a very high level. This play is so unfortunate because all Russ was doing was going to call a timeout and Patrick Beverley runs into him completely unnecessary and could cost OKC a title shot. It is so unfortunate that such a small play can have a big impact. Call it how you see it: intentional, flagrant, dirty, or even an accident. The diagnosis for this is typically 6-8 weeks but Metta World Peace did comeback within 13 days. So until we hear a timetable let's all keep our fingers crossed.
