Prior to getting injured in the playoffs last year, one of Russell Westbrook’s claims to fame was the had never missed a game due to injury in college or the NBA. Even so, when he went out it was reported that may be back in time if OKC reached the Finals. That didn’t happen, but it led us to believe that the injury wasn’t too bad.
That’s why this news is interesting. Westbrook still hasn’t been cleared to return to basketball activity.
“I’m going to come back and be better,” Westbrook said matter-of-factly Monday, with the same unshakable swagger he’s always shown.
As excitement builds over Saturday’s start to training camp, Westbrook is eagerly anticipating his long-awaited return from the knee injury that cut short his 2013 postseason.
Westbrook has not yet been cleared to resume full basketball activities, and neither him nor team officials are providing a timetable for when that final obstacle will be overcome.
