Russell Westbrook has surgery for a fractured hand

The Los Angeles Clippers guard Russell Westbrook has undergone surgery on his fractured left hand, as reported by ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

The expectation is that Westbrook will aim to return before the playoffs, with rehabilitation efforts underway following the injury sustained in a game against Washington last Friday.

The goal is to have Westbrook back in action before the postseason begins in April.
