Basket-ball NBA Thunder: Westbrook may get back in 2 weeks

russell-westbrook-hipster-outfitEarlier this month, the Thunder got news that All-Star point guard Russell Westbrook would need a second surgical procedure on his ailing right knee. That meant that Westbrook would likely miss the first 4-6 weeks of the season, putting his return to Oklahoma City’s lineup somewhere in December.

But the Thunder may be getting some good news soon, writes Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo!Sports.com, as Westbrook is healing up quick.:

“Oklahoma Thunder star Russell Westbrook has made significant progress in his recovery from a second surgical procedure on his knee and could return to the Thunder’s lineup within two weeks,” league sources told Yahoo Sports.
“The Thunder issued an original timetable of six to eight weeks from Wednesday’s opening night for Westbrook, but barring an unforeseen setback he could be back in the lineup by mid-November.
Westbrook began participating in Thunder practice sessions and has impressed everyone with his explosion and fast return to form”, sources said.
