Lakers' Westbrook out at Nuggets with sore left hamstring
Posted October 26, 2022 7:00 am
DENVER (AP) - Russell Westbrook sat out the Los Angeles Lakers' game Wednesday night at Denver to rest a sore left hamstring.
Lakers coach Darvin Ham announced the plan before the game to take a precautionary route with Westbrook's injury.
'œWe all came to a conclusion that it's early in the season, there's no reason to stretch it out or put him in a vulnerable position,'ť Ham explained. 'œTake it day-to-day.'ť
The Los Angeles guard is mired in a slump, shooting just 28.9% from the floor. He's 1 of 12 from 3-point range.
Westbrook is averaging 10.3 points, 6.7 rebounds and 4.3 assists this season. He has one double-double.
