Now listed as available for Game 5 Westbrook (ankle) is listed as available for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Sixers.
Impact The Wizards initially listed Westbrook as "questionable" but quickly issued an update to clarify that the guard will, in fact, be available. Westbrook has been battling an ankle issue since Game 2, but it didn't stop him from putting up triple-doubles in each of the last two contests. He's still struggling to score the ball efficiently for the series, but Westbrook offset a horrific 3-of-19 shooting night in Game 4 by going 13-of-16 at the free throw line on his way to 19 points, 21 rebounds, 14 assists and two steals in 42 minutes.

Questionable for Game 5 Westbrook (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's Game 5 against the 76ers.
Impact Westbrook played through the issue during Games 3 and 4, and he averaged 22.5 points, 16.5 rebounds, 12.0 assists and 1.0 steals but shot just 32.4 percent from the field. It would be surprising if he sat out with the Wizards down 3-1 in the series.

Monster performance in Game 4 Westbrook mustered 19 points (3-19 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 13-16 FT), 21 rebounds, 14 assists and two steals across 42 minutes in Monday's Game 4 win over the 76ers.
Impact Westbrook struggled massively from the floor, but he took advantage of his elite ability to get to the charity stripe to finish with his second-best scoring output of the series. This was also his second straight triple-double, and the star point guard is averaging 17.8 points, 12.3 assists and 11.0 rebounds per game during the current series.
