OKLAHOMA CITY -- Russell Westbrook is "progressing" and getting nearer to a return Oklahoma City Thunder coach Billy Donovan said on Thursday, but has not been cleared for full contact practice yet leaving his status for their opening game next week against the Golden State Warriors in question.
"Every day for him, he feels better and better," Donovan said. "I don't want to say [if he'll be ready by next Tuesday], I know you guys want to know that but that's too far out and there will be a lot of things that will go into that decision.
