The guard, out three weeks with a fractured left hand, could come back as soon as Monday and provide a spark to a team that has won six of its past 11 games
Clippers guard Russell Westbrook sits next to his bobblehead figurine before their game against the Washington Wizards on March 1, 2024, at Crypto.com Arena. Russell Westbrook is set to return to the lineup sometime next week, possibly as soon as Monday when the Clippers face the Indiana Pacers in the second of two home games.
Before the Clippers can celebrate Westbrook’s expected return Monday, they must face the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday at Crypto.com Arena. In their two games against the Blazers, the Clippers played with the type of energy that propelled them to the top of the Western Conference standings in early February.
The Clippers need to maintain that effort in their final 12 regular-season games if they want to hold their spot at No. 4 and stay ahead of the New Orleans Pelicans . His presence also lessens the load off Kawhi Leonard and Paul George and his ability alters the energy and flow of the game.Westbrook’s absence has been compounded by Norman Powell, who has missed three games because of a lower leg injury he suffered March 15 inwhile fighting for a loose ball. He has averaged 13.9 points, 45.3% shooting from the 3-point range and 48.9% in overall shooting.
