Denwar Nagets Guard Russell Westbrook underwent surgery on Tuesday to repair two brakes in his right hand.
A statement posted by the athletic said, “I am grateful to the support of everyone all year and I can’t wait to return to 100% soon.” “The return is already in speed.”
The 36-year-old Westbrook said the injury occurred during the 2024–25 season. His fingers were heavily tapped during Denver’s playoff run, which ended with the loss of the six-game series to Oklahoma City Thunder in the Western Conference semi-finals on 18 May.
Nine-time All-Star and 2016-17 League MVP, Westbrook, in their first season with Nugets, took up 13.3 points in 75 games (36 beginnings) in their first season, 6.1 aid and average of 4.9 rebounds.
The two -time NBA scoring champion has a career of 21.2 points, 8.0 and 7.0 rebounds in 1,237 Games (1,075 start) with Thunder, Houston Rocket, Washington Wazards, Los Angeles Lakes, Los Angeles Lakes, Los Angeles Lakes, Los Angeles Lakes, Los Angeles Clips and Nagets.
Westbrook has a player option for 2025-26 that hits a cap of $ 3.47 million. He is an all-time leader in Triple-Dabbles (203) and ranks eighth in the history of NBA (9,925) and in the 23rd points (26,205), but still demanding his first championship.
