Westbrook leaves with hand injury

Oct 31, 2014 - 5:55 AM Los Angles, CA (SportsNetwork.com) - The most injury-ridden team in the NBA just lost another one of its key pieces on Thursday.

Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook left the game against the Los Angeles Clippers with a right hand injury and didn't return.

Head coach Scott Brooks confirmed after the game that Westbrook suffered a small fracture and will be out indefinitely.

Westbrook appeared to get his hand caught on teammate Kendrick Perkins' torso while battling for offensive rebounding position midway through the second quarter. He remained in the game for a possession before removing himself and heading to the locker room.

The Thunder are already without reigning MVP Kevin Durant, who had foot surgery during the preseason, along with guards Reggie Jackson, Anthony Morrow and Jeremy Lamb and big man Mitch McGary.
