The Oklahoma City Thunder have found their footing following a slow start by going on a five-game winning streak.
Their next chance to keep the streak alive will be with star guard
A sprained left ankle will prevent Westbrook from suiting up Wednesday night when Oklahoma City visits the league-worst Cleveland Cavaliers.
Westbrook is definitely out Wednesday though he is traveling with the Thunder. He will be re-evaluated Thursday before a home game with the Houston Rockets but since it is on the second night of a back-to-back set, it appears likely the Thunder will proceed with caution and keep Westbrook out until Saturday or sometime next week.
