Nuggets officially announced: Star Westbrook s right-hand surgery is successful & I hope you will return with full blood as soon as possible

On May 28, the NBA Nuggets officially announced: Guard star Westbrook has successfully completed right-hand surgery and has repaired injuries such as multiple ligament torns and two fractures. He will completely recover in the offseason. It is certain that he will return to the team in full blood starting the new season. It can be analyzed from the official text of the Nuggets that Westbrook will continue to play for the team next season without having to worry about being traded during the offseason!

36-year-old Westbrook plays as a point guard and plays for the Nuggets in the 2024-2025 season. He plays in a total of 75 games in the regular season, averages 27.9 minutes per game, and can score 13.3 points + 4.9 rebounds + 6.1 assists + 1.4 steals + 0.5 blocks. He has a shooting percentage of 44.0%, a three-point shooting percentage of 32.0%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 66.0%.

The second round of the playoffs was precisely due to Westbrook's outstanding performance that the Nuggets finally eliminated the Clippers 4-3 in seven games in the series. Especially Westbrook's three-point shooting percentage in this round of the series reached 43%, which is invincible; but in the second round of the game against the Thunder, Westbrook suffered a right-hand injury and performed poorly, and the Nuggets were eventually eliminated by the Thunder and missed the Western Conference Finals!
