Russell Westbrook Suffers Hand Fracture in Clippers' Win

The injury sidelines the veteran guard, casting a shadow over the team's upcoming challenging matchups.

Russell Westbrook sustained a left hand fracture during the Clippers' victory over the Washington Wizards, marking a significant loss for the team.
Despite Westbrook's injury, the Clippers managed a commanding win, pulling away in the third quarter to secure a 140-115 victory.
Westbrook, a 17-year veteran, was averaging 11.1 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 4.5 assists this season before the injury.
The Clippers are set to face tough competition in their next three games, including matches against the Western Conference-leading Minnesota Timberwolves and the Milwaukee Bucks.
With Westbrook sidelined, reserve point guard Bones Hyland is expected to see increased playing time in his absence.
