Thunder could be without Westbrook against Suns

OKLAHOMA CITY -- Sunday's meeting with the Phoenix Suns looked to be a prime opportunity for the Oklahoma City Thunder to pick up their first win of the season.

The Suns dropped to 1-4 with Saturday's 117-96 loss at Memphis and they will be playing their first back-to-back of the season. The Thunder haven't played since Thursday.

But the Thunder could be without its biggest star.

Russell Westbrook, who sat out the season's first two games after offseason knee surgery, missed Saturday's practice with a sore shoulder.

"I think he'll be fine," Thunder coach Billy Donovan said of Westbrook's availability, but said he wouldn't know for sure until Sunday.
