Houston Rockets star Russell Westbrook will suit up for Game 5 against the Oklahoma City Thunder after missing time with a strained right quad.
This comes after it was reported that Westbrook “looked explosive as ever” in a 5-on-5 scrimmage in practice on Aug. 27, according to ESPN’s Tim MacMahon.
Westbrook was recently upgraded to questionable earlier this week and was going to test his quad on court before the originally-scheduled Game 5 on Aug. 26.
He ultimately never got the chance to do that once the games were postponed in protest of social and racial injustices.
The NBA has yet to announce what time games will be when they resume the playoffs on Aug. 29.
