Russell Westbrook had procedure Saturday to address fracture to the zygomatic arch of right cheek. Will be re-evaluated later in the week.

Waiters 7-29 games coming right up

Russell Westbrook won't miss much time with surgery. "If he had a playoff game (Sunday), he could play," league source tells Yahoo Sports.

so they really did just plunger that thing back into place after all huh

i seem to remember iverson cutting quite a lot but yeah he was mostly a midrange guy. mostly seemed like a silly thing to say in the moment.

As the ILH resident AI expert I dispute this

It's true he relied on the fadeaway midrange J later in his career but he attacked the hell out of the basket when he was young

RIP Mase :((

aw man. 48 years old

so glad russ is going to be ok, i was never his biggest fan but this recent run is converting me, he is just an insane tireless wind up basketball action figure.

iverson famously took it to the hoop, took many free throws, also shot from midrange a lot, also from deep, generally just tons of shooting

hahahah yeah . this is true too

this young wolves team is the future. adrian payne, not a great player but could be a nice role (24yo i guess)

not having kevin love huge for them

wiggins i guarding zbo rn lol

spurs laying a beatdown on the spurs rn

omg the suns have 24 points at halftime

TWENTY FOUR

lol just caught my typo

ya the suns look deflated, just slumping body language all over, cant hit for nothing

suns partied too hard in okc the other night?

am just learning kg got ejected from this game lmao

KGs contributions to the wolves and the nba will now have absolutely nothing to do with his actual play on the court

i love wiggins plz help me, god

WIGGINS

lose yourself on the arena. wolves ball. lol

and kevin martin misses.... wow..

kobe does some minor cussing in this doc, def maturing his brand

watching this kobe thing, 10 minutes in, very boring

kobe's press conference when he announced he was skipping college: "I've decided to take my talents to the NBA."

kobe so influential on our top athletes

the way he stares directly at the camera during the talking head bits is really unnerving. it's a method usually used in docs to convey the idea that the subject is being interrogated or is judging you.

uh there's a part where second-year kobe is being interviewed by some old white dude and the guy says he should get a toothpaste endorsement "because you've got beautiful teeth." this was like 1997.

feel like we might need a poll to determine whether it was a shot or a pass

–– PASS or SHOT? ––

wow those 4 airballs in a row by Kobe. don't remember that at all.

btw the whole Colorado affair was bad because kobe let his family down

man its so hard to watch him talk

this whole stretch about the alleged rape -- which is never directly addressed -- is torturous and revolting

"So kobe has to deal with these issues, these personal challenges. The black mamba steps on the court and does what he does."

kobe wrote birdman u guys.
