Thunder journal: Westbrook out against Cavs, uncertain for week

Russell Westbrook will miss Wednesday night's game in Cleveland with a left ankle sprain, but beyond that is unknown.

Westbrook suffered the sprain at 4:30 in the third quarter of the Thunder's 122-116 win against New Orleans on Monday. Westbrook is traveling with the team to Cleveland, but the team wants to see how he responds to treatment over the next few days before providing a more accurate timetable for his return.

The team believes the injury isn't as severe as it appeared when Westbrook limped off the floor Monday night.

The Thunder plays at Cleveland and at home against Houston on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively, before playing at Dallas on Saturday.
