Westbrook fracture surgery, fighting for the playoffs with injuries, bandages wrapped in 4 fingers

Just today, the Nuggets officially announced that Russell Westbrook successfully underwent right-hand surgery. As soon as this news came out, many people were shocked: this former "divine turtle" ended the entire playoffs with the pain of multiple ligament tearings!

What is even more touching is that it was not until the news of the operation was announced that the fans suddenly realized that his four fingers, which were always bandaged in the playoffs, hid such a serious injury.

data reveals the tragic journey of Westbrook's injury-defying battle. He averaged 11.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 24.1 minutes per game, but his three shooting percentages were only 39.1%, 31.7%, and 70%.

Whitebrook was not injured in the first round against the Clippers, and his shooting percentage was as high as 43.3% and 41.9% respectively in the second round. His data, with bandages, dropped sharply to 9.9 points per game, with only 35% of his shooting percentage.

It is not difficult to find out about the photos of the game. The injury quietly invaded this iron man from the second round.

But Westbrook never used injuries as an excuse. Even in the second round where he was most declining, he still gritted his teeth and persevered. You know, the Nuggets were in a tight rotation at the time, and there were less than 8 people in the team able to play, which forced Westbrook to withstand it with injuries. In the regular season, he played in 75 games (36 starts), averaged 27.9 minutes per game and contributed 13.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, 6.1 assists, and with a base salary of $3.3 million, he ranked only 341st in the league's salary list.

Now, Westbrook's stay or stay has become a new suspense. The $3.47 million player option next season will be decided by June 29. But the Nuggets' future is also full of fog - the second round has been terminated for two consecutive years, the team has not yet finalized the new general manager, and core players such as Porter Jr. have performed poorly in the playoffs, and the current lineup is likely to face restructuring.

For Westbrook, staying in the Nuggets may continue his hope of winning the championship, but if the team rebuilds, he may also become the target of adjustment.

From the former MVP to the current basic salary battle, Westbrook used his tenacity to fight with injuries to interpret his love for basketball. No matter where you go in the end, this spirit of "slight injury will not fall from the front line" has long won the respect of fans.

At this moment, I wish Westbrook a speedy recovery - Looking forward to the fearless "Divine Turtle" returning with full blood next season!
