Russell Westbrook News, Rumors, Updates - Sacramento Kings

Likely to play Sunday Westbrook is probable for Sunday's Game 7 against the Thunder due to a right hand sprain.

Impact Westbrook was limited to 17 minutes off the bench in the Game 6 victory on Thursday. Still, even if the veteran floor general landed on the injury report, the probable tag suggests he should be able to suit up. The Nuggets need him to be at his best Sunday, especially if Aaron Gordon (hamstring) ends up being ruled out.

Plays minimal role in Game 6 Westbrook recorded eight points (3-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three rebounds and one block over 17 minutes during Thursday's 119-107 win over the Thunder in Game 6 of the Western Conf...

Impact Westbrook has comfortably led the Denver second unit in minutes played during the playoffs, but he's had his struggles recently and the team turned to Julian Strawther who responded with 15 points in 20 minutes. Jamal Murray played through an illness, Aaron Gordon may have tweaked his hamstring and Michael Porter continues to push through his shoulder issue, so the Nuggets will be hoping that Westbrook can turn things around quickly.

Impact After starting off this series with a couple strong games, Westbrook has struggled mightily in three straight outings. He hit a combined 6-of-27 from the field in that span, averaging 6.0 points, 2.7 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.0 three-pointers.

Impact The likes of Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic struggled badly in this Game 2 loss, and while it would be a stretch to say Westbrook stepped up, he did end as the team's leading scorer. Westbrook has scored in double digits off the bench in all but one of his eight playoff showings thus far and has also surpassed the 15-point mark in his last three.

Impact Although he had an underwhelming stat line outside of scoring, Westbrook continues to see heavy involvement off the bench. The Nuggets are using an extremely tight rotation, and the only other bench players to see minutes were Peyton Watson (15) and Julian Strawther (6). Through seven postseason games, Westbrook is averaging 14.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.1 steals and 2.0 three-pointers.
