Russell Westbrook injury status for Saturday 4/26/25

Russell Westbrook injury status for Saturday 4/26/25

By: Stan Son

UPDATE: Westbrook is officially listed as out for Saturday.


During warmups before Thursday’s Game 3 against the Los Angeles Clippers, Russell Westbrook ($5,300) drove baseline against a defender and rolled his ankle as he was about to go up for a layup.

He was able to play in the game off the bench, but for only nine minutes of action due to inflammation in the left foot. He is officially questionable to return.

Prior to exiting, Westbrook contributed three points, a rebound and an assist while shooting 1-of-5 from the field.

Jalen Pickett played five and eight minutes in the first two games of the series, but he should see an uptick in playing time with Westbrook sidelined. Expect more of Pickett today against the Clippers.

Stan joined DraftKings in December of 2020. It was a glorious time, except for that whole COVID thing, when we got Madden streams and boisterous bat flips from the KBO. I was brought on board to bring some West Coast flavor. I especially love hoops, and most of my content is in that arena. When I walk along the beach, strumming my guitar, the beat that I hear is not one of crashing waves. No, it is the beat of the ball bouncing off the hardwood with highs provided by the squeaks of the sneakers. Ball is life.
