As expected Russell Westbrook went through surgery to repair a broken bone in his right hand after inadvertently running into Kendrick Perkins when going up for a rebound. The Thunder have stated that Westbrook will be re-evaluated in four weeks. (ESPN)
Fantasy Impact:
This shouldn't be a major setback in terms of production once he returns to the floor. Missing a minimum of the first month of the season though, is a major setback for any fantasy owner who spent a high draft pick on the explosive guard. Reggie Jackson should be returning soon and will be the starting guard once healthy. In the meantime, Sebastian Telfair is distributing the ball. The Thunder are hurting badly with Durant and Westbrook out, Jeremy Lamb may be a nice source of points once he returns from injury as well.
