The Los Angeles Lakers forward spoke before his expected return on Thursday night against Dallas.
With four straight triple-doubles contributing directly to wins, Russell Westbrook’s ability to make the Oklahoma City Thunder tick is undeniable. Not that there was any doubt on Thursday night as the NBA’s leading scorer had 24 points, 16 assists and 10 rebounds to lead his team to a 123-102 blowout victory over the Toronto Raptors. It was Westbrook’s 34th triple-double of the season as he continued his assault on the NBA’s single-season record for triple-doubles of 41, set by Oscar Robertson during the 1961-62 season.
Boston Celtics All-Star Jaylen Brown played through a partially torn right meniscus to end the season. Brown began receiving injections in his right knee in March and played until Boston’s season ended in Game 6 of the second round.
Brown will now be reevaluated this week to see if surgery is necessary.
Despite playing through pain, Brown wouldn’t use the injury as an excuse. In the aftermath of the Celtics loss, Brown told reporters he was proud of the way the team fought in the playoffs.
“I don’t make excuses,” Brown said. “Obviously, it’s tough the way we went out like tonight, but the way we finished the year, personally, the way I finished the year, persevering through some physical stuff that I was battling through, I’m proud of our group.”
