Russell Westbrook Aggravates Ankle Injury
3 years agoWashington Wizards guard Russell Westbrook (ankle) has exited Monday's matchup against the Sixers. The veteran aggravated his ailing right ankle halfway through the first quarter and was subsequently taken back to the locker room. His status for the remainder of the contest is unknown, although it would be a surprise if he didn't return, especially since the Wizards are facing elimination. However, if he can't make it back, Bradley Beal should see a spike in both usage and +/- differential, while Ish Smith could also see more minutes and production while running things at the point.
