Drops team-high 22 in loss Westbrook finished with 22 points (10-19 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and three assists over 25 minutes during Wednesday's 128-97 loss to the Rockets.

Impact The 22 points were a team high in the rout, as only three other Kings even managed to score in double digits. Westbrook has topped 20 points in back-to-back games, but consistent playing time could be tough to come by for the 37-year-old with Sacramento in full tank mode -- through eight games in February he's played more than 30 minutes only twice, averaging 14.5 points, 4.3 assists, 2.5 boards and 1.9 threes in 24.4 minutes a contest.

Good to go Thursday Westbrook (ankle) is available for Thursday's game against Orlando.

Impact Westbrook missed the Kings final game before the All-Star break due to left ankle soreness. The veteran point guard has moved past the injury and will be a full-go for Thursday's contest. With Zach LaVine (hand) and Domantas Sabonis (knee) out for the season, plenty of usage should be available for Westbrook going forward.

Ruled out for Wednesday Westbrook has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Jazz due to left ankle soreness.

Impact The ankle issue is a new concern for Westbrook, whose next opportunity to play will come against the Magic on Feb. 19. The Kings will be extremely shorthanded in their final game before the All-Star break, so Nique Clifford, Devin Carter and Daeqwon Plowden will likely all see a heavy workload.

Supplies 17 points in rout Westbrook chipped in 17 points (7-17 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists across 21 minutes during Monday's 120-94 loss to the Pelicans.

Impact The Kings continue to monitor Westbrook's workload in the wake of a foot injury he suffered in late January, and the 37-year-old guard has played 26 minutes or fewer in three of four games since returning to the lineup. During that span, he's averaged 14.3 points, 5.3 assists, 2.5 boards and 2.3 threes in just 24.8 minutes a contest. With Sacramento holding the worst record in the NBA at 12-43 and headed for the top of the lottery, Westbrook could be one of the veterans who finds their usage scaled back for the remainder of the season even if he's fully healthy.
