Russell Westbrook of the Denver Nuggets underwent surgery on his right hand to address multiple ligament tears. In a newsletter, he expressed gratitude for support and anticipation for a 100% recovery. This season, Westbrook averaged 13.3 points while playing 75 games. Following a playoff elimination on May 18, he was heavily taped due to injuries. Westbrook has a crucial player option for next season, which he must decide on by June 29. Despite a storied career with numerous accolades, he continues to seek his first championship.
In his World of Westbrook newsletter published Tuesday morning, the veteran point guard said he was set to undergo surgery to fix 'two breaks that happened during the season.'
Westbrook has a player option for 2025-26 that carries a $3.47 million cap hit. He has until June 29 to opt in; if he doesn't he will be a free agent this summer.
