The Thunder backcourt will have a new look to the start of training camp, and possibly some early answers about newcomer Dennis Schroder's integration to Oklahoma City.
Russell Westbrook underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right knee on Wednesday, according to the Thunder. The seven-time All-Star and 2016-17 Most Valuable Player will be re-evaluated after four weeks, which will rule him out for the Thunder's preseason and push his estimated return close to the start of the regular season.
Westbrook felt stiffness and experienced inflammation in his knee last weekend, and elected to have surgery as opposed to missing time deep into the season.
