The good and bad of Westbrook’s return

After missing the first two games of the regular season, Russell Westbrook made his return to the Thunder for their home opener against the Sacramento Kings. Unfortunately, for Westbrook and the Thunder, his return wasn’t enough, as the Thunder fell to the Kings 131-120.

The Good

Coming off a knee injury that kept Westbrook out for the first two games and the entire preseason, some rust was expected. However, there appeared to be no signs of rust in Westbrook’s play Sunday night.

Westbrook’s final statline looked almost identical to what he’s been averaging for the last two seasons.
