Westbrook underwent a surgical procedure on a fracture to his zygomatic arch bone. He will miss Sunday's game. Will be reevaluated this week

Russell Westbrook won't miss much time with surgery. "If he had a playoff game (Sunday), he could play," league source tells Yahoo Sports.

That's good news.. serious injury but doesn't sound as bad as it could have been

[J Shuttlesworth]

Out for 1 game, re-evaluated in a week?

Does that mean he'll miss tomorrow, but play with a mask on during the week? Or he'll miss a week?

[Fudge]

Great news.

Can't wait what he has up his sleeve for a mask. Dude is gonna look BOSS af.

[KDthunderup]

Just as our season was looking promising again......

This has been the season from hell

He will miss a week it sound like.

Nobody knows yet dude. Jesus Christ stop asking such dumb questions. It says he'll be re-evaluated THIS week. Which means they will evaluate him and see if he is suitable to play.

Luckily it was a face injury, so his court abilities wont change much.

[TheReturn]

Perfect guy to wear the mask.

[nathanjizzle]

durant socked him in the face?

[JimmyMcAdocious]

Tough little ****. He took a knee to the head that was so hard it fractured his face. I thought he handled it pretty well.

Now this is Dion Waiters team! Should be fun :)

the OP said "He'll be re-evaluated in a week or so" Not the same as "being evaluated THIS week"

and quit being so sensitive over a question

Based on what that mofo's face looked like after he got hit, I was expecting much worse.

I thought he might be out for 3-4 weeks for serious facial reconstruction surgery.

The dude had a goddam CONCAVE DENT in the side of his face! How does that even happen to your skin?

But it could be OK.

1. Beat Lakers and Sixers without KD and Russ.
2. KD, Kanter and Adams return after that.
3. KD carries the team for a while while Russ is out a couple weeks.
4. Try to get them all back together, used to each other, and pray they can stay healthy enough to grab the eight seed and make the playoffs.

Yeah, that was my bad - a misinterpretation. I edited the mistake.
