that sucks,. feel bad for west chimp.
OKLAHOMA CITY, April 27, 2013 - Oklahoma City Thunder guard Russell Westbrook underwent successful surgery earlier today to repair a lateral meniscus tear in his right knee.
Westbrook will miss the remainder of the 2013 NBA Playoffs. Rehab will begin immediately and a timetable for his return will be determined during the offseason. The surgery was performed at the Stedman Clinic in Vail, CO with Thunder medical personnel present.
"Although we are of course disappointed that Russell will be unable to return to the floor with his teammates this season, the opportunity to repair the meniscus as opposed to remove it was the best possible scenario for Russell's long term health as a player and person," said Thunder Executive Vice President and General Manager Sam Presti. "Russell's health and well being are obviously our number one priority through this process and today's procedure helped solidify our belief that Russell will have many productive years of basketball in his future."
honestly that sucks, i like seeing the best players compete,injuries are a bust although its a part of the game.
That today`s nba. Feakin athletism, throwing your bodies all over the court. No fundamental basketball. Run faster, jump higher. And defenders became bigger and nobody is going to step back and be posterize or some other embarassing stuff.
And then, banged up, tired players catch season ending injuries.
Steroids and meth will make you susceptible to injuries
Maybe the Chimp will take his time and learn some moves/defense this offseason so he doesn't flame out at age 26.
Time for pads?![]()
Wonder whose fanbase is more sore?
Thunders fans hating Houston for westbrick or Lakers fans hating Warriors for knocking out Bryant.

I dont recall anyone blaming the warriors, just happens.
Pads probably wont help on hip flexor, meniscus or achilles
It was tongue in cheek :P
Injuries keep cropping up like crazy...I truly wish him a speedy recovery.
I thought Kobe was injured by his own movement.
Westgimp is a but I rather play these teams full strength. It's not the same beating the Lakers without Kobe playing
Injuries suck ass. Spurs and their fans know all too well.![]()
Ditto.
Injuries blow. I think there have been more key players injured this year than ever.
Can't wait to see what he's wearing on the bench tbh.
