Los Angeles Clippers guard Russell Westbrook underwent surgery to repair his broken left hand Monday, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
While it’s still unclear how long he’ll be sidelined, the team is apparently hopeful that Westbrook can be back in time for the Clippers’ playoff run.
Westbrook injured his left hand early in the second quarter of the Clippers’ 140-115 win over the Washington Wizards on Friday night. He was trying to poke the ball out of Wizards guard Jordan Poole’s hand while on defense, but he immediately reached for his left hand in pain after doing so.
He remained in the game briefly, and reached for his hand again in pain at the next stoppage of play. He was eventually subbed out of the game, and didn’t return.
Westbrook had six points and one assist in 10 minutes off the bench. The 35-year-old, who has been one of the better sixth men in the league, has averaged a career-low 11.1 points, 5.1 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game this season.
The Clippers hold a 39-20 record headed into Monday night’s game against the Milwaukee Bucks, which has them in fourth in the Western Conference standings, just 2.5 games out of first place. Including Monday’s game, the Clippers have 23 games left in the regular season. If Westbrook can be back in time for the postseason, he would be an integral part in what could be a deep run for the Clippers.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
