The Denver Nuggets suffered a massive blow in match 3 against the clippers of the Russell Westbrook was injured on the left foot. The guardian of the veterans was questionable to come back. He tried to try it at halftime but seemed uncomfortable while putting pressure on his injured foot.

Despite his best efforts to come back, Russell Westbrook was finally excluded from the match. Nuggets dragged 90-70 when they made this announcement. Denver must rely on Jalen Pickett to give them a similar production to Westbrook of the bench.
Their depth in the leader’s position can harm their chances of making a return in match 3. If they lose this competition and Westbrook remains for match 4, Denver could face an intimidating task by winning this match, potentially risking clippers up 3-1 when the teams return to Denver for match 5.
