  • Russell Westbrook Listed As Probable For Saturday

    Los Angeles Lakers guard Russell Westbrook (foot) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Sacramento Kings. The veteran guard is back on the injury report due to left foot soreness. However, it's worth noting that Westbrook hasn't missed a game since December 21. He could see an expanded role with LeBron James (ankle) listed as questionable for this game. Westbrook would be asked to take control of the offense, assuming James sits out. He nearly had a triple-double on Wednesday when James was out. Fantasy managers will have to check back for another update before tip-off.

  • Russell Westbrook Available For Wednesday

    Los Angeles Lakers guard Russell Westbrook (foot) is available for Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat. The 34-year-old exited early during Monday's contest due to left foot soreness. It appears to be a minor injury as Westbrook will suit up and isn't expected to be limited on Wednesday. In fact, Westbrook is likely to take on a bigger role with LeBron James (illness) on the sideline. It's unclear whether Westbrook will start, but regardless he should have plenty of value with James off the court.

  • Russell Westbrook Makes An Early Exit With A Sore Foot

    Los Angeles Lakers point guard Russell Westbrook was unable to complete Monday's matchup against Orlando because of left foot soreness. It appears to be a nagging issue, as Westbrook also missed a pair of games with the same problem last month. The injury clearly didn't allow him to be at his best against the Magic, with the former MVP shooting only 1-for-8 from the field and committing three turnovers in 11 minutes before calling it a night. It was a huge drop-off from his recent form, as Westbrook had multiple triple-doubles in December and finished the month with averages of 14.1 points, 7.9 rebounds and 8.6 assists. Dennis Schroder and Patrick Beverley should share most of the minutes at the point guard position if Westbrook is forced to miss time, while Austin Reaves could get a boost in playing time. He impressed Monday with 15 points, six rebounds and seven assists off the bench.

  • Russell Westbrook On Track To Return For Friday’s Game

    Los Angeles Lakers point guard Russell Westbrook (foot) has been listed as probable to play in Friday's contest vs. Charlotte, after having missed the previous two outings due to a sore left foot. Westbrook's return would elevate L.A.'s second unit and likely cut into the workload that Max Christie has seen as of late. While Westbrook has scuffled mightily from long range in December (12 percent), he will likely garner significant DFS attention with the matchup against the Hornets drawing the highest projected total of the night in Vegas (242 points).

  • Russell Westbrook Will Not Suit Up Wednesday

    Los Angeles Lakers point guard Russell Westbrook (foot) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game vs. Sacramento due to a sore left foot. Westbrook was unavailable due to the ailment Monday, paving the way for Kendrick Nunn to lead the bench unit with 17 points; another absence from Westbrook makes Nunn a highly desirable DFS candidate. While Westbrook has struggled mightily from long range during December (12 percent), he has averaged 13.3 points, 8.3 rebounds and 8.7 assists, returning to the nightly triple-double threat that has made him a fantasy stalwart for the past decade-plus. His next chance to return to action comes Friday against the Hornets.

  • Russell Westbrook Avoids Serious Injury

    Los Angeles Lakers guard Russell Westbrook (thumb) suffered a right thumb injury during Sunday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. The veteran guard left the arena with a wrap on his right hand. Luckily, the X-rays came back negative, which is good news for him. It sounds like the plan is for Westbrook to be re-examined on Monday. In the meantime, Austin Reaves and Lonnie Walker IV would likely benefit the most, assuming Westbrook is forced to miss action. Fantasy managers will have to check back for another update on his status.

  • Russell Westbrook Injures Right Thumb

    Los Angeles Lakers point guard Russell Westbrook sustained a right thumb injury in Sunday's blowout win over the Spurs. He already went for X-rays, which came back negative and that's great news, but Westbrook left the arena with his hand wrapped up and there are further evaluations planned for Monday. The former MVP had another solid night in 22 minutes off the bench, posting his fourth consecutive double-double with 10 points and 10 assists. Patrick Beverley and Dennis Schroder are set to share the point guard minutes if Westbrook is forced to miss any time. The latter has only just recovered from a thumb problem himself, and Schroder's fantasy stock should begin to rise soon after he started to pick up pace with a 13-point outing Sunday.

  • Russell Westbrook Moved To The Bench

    Los Angeles Lakers guard Russell Westbrook will come off the bench on Friday against the Timberwolves. With head coach Darvin Ham looking to light a fire under the team's second unit, Westbrook is expected to lead the group for the foreseeable future. The 33-year-old has gotten off to a rough start to the 2022-23 campaign, averaging 10.3 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 4.3 assists while shooting 28.9% from the field and 8.3% from deep. However, the move may help turn Westbrook's season around, considering he won't compete as much with LeBron James and Anthony Davis for offensive chances.

  • Russell Westbrook Ruled Out For Wednesday

    Los Angeles Lakers guard Russell Westbrook (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He was listed as doubtful heading into this game, so Westbrook sitting out shouldn't shock fantasy managers. The organization is hopeful that Westbrook will be able to play on Friday. In the meantime, Austin Reaves is expected to start against the Nuggets on Wednesday. He's not a great streaming option, but could be worth looking at in deep leagues.

  • Russell Westbrook Listed As Doubtful To Play Wednesday

    Los Angeles Lakers guard Russell Westbrook (hamstring) is doubtful to play Wednesday night against the Denver Nuggets. Westbrook suffered a hamstring injury during their preseason games, but has not missed any time with the injury up until this point. Coming into Wednesday, the Lakers will have three days of rest which does not bode well for Westbrook's status. If Westbrook is ultimately ruled out, Patrick Beverley, Austin Reaves and Kendrick Nunn should handle the extra minutes while LeBron James and Anthony Davis should see an increase in usage. Hamstrings are a tricky injury so consider Westbrook at least questionable to play in Friday's contest.

  • Russell Westbrook Tagged As Probable For Season Opener

    Los Angeles Lakers guard Russell Westbrook (hamstring) has been upgraded to probable for Tuesday's season opener against the Golden State Warriors. The veteran guard has been dealing with a lingering hamstring issue. Luckily, it sounds like Westbrook is feeling good enough to suit up for this contest. The expectation is that he'll split up the guard minutes off the bench with Kendrick Nunn. Everyone is aware of Westbrook's struggles from last season. Despite that, he can still be a productive fantasy player in the right role and system.

  • Russell Westbrook Listed As Day-To-Day

    Los Angeles Lakers guard Russell Westbrook (hamstring) is listed as day-to-day. As a result, there's a chance he won't play in the season-opener against the Golden State Warriors. The 33-year-old tweaked his hamstring during Friday's preseason finale versus the Sacramento Kings. Fortunately, there is no structural damage, so even if Westbrook doesn't suit up on Tuesday, he may not be out long. It's unknown if head coach Darvin Ham plans on using him off the bench. However, Westbrook will still get his minutes regardless of his role and could even benefit from not sharing the floor with LeBron James and Anthony Davis.

  • Russell Westbrook Injures Hamstring On Friday Night

    Los Angeles Lakers guard Russell Westbrook (hamstring) did not return to Friday's preseason game versus the Sacramento Kings. Head coach Darvin Ham had the 33-year-old come off the bench to see things would play out. However, Ham couldn't assess things properly, especially since Westbrook logged only five minutes before exiting. As a result, it's unknown what his role will be if he's active for the season-opener against the Golden State Warriors. Either way, Westbrook should play a sizeable number of minutes.
