Russell Westbrook hit the floor, turned over and smacked the ground and tried to pull himself along the baseline. The crowd fell silent.
When Westbrook eventually got up, he hopped on his right leg, barely able to put weight on his left. He was escorted off the court and into the tunnel.
Westbrook suffered an ankle sprain in the Thunder's 122-116 win against the Pelicans Monday. The Thunder (5-4) responded with a burst of energy that helped them extend their winning streak to five games. After the game, Thunder coach Billy Donovan said he didn't have a timeline for Westbrook's return.
