Russell Westbrook will not return vs. Clippers after leaving with hand injury

Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook left Thursday night's game against the Los Angeles Clippers in the second quarter with a hand injury. 

Darnell Mayberry of the Oklahoman reported that Westbrook would not return, though moments later Westbrook showed up on the Thunder bench with his hand wrapped in ice. 

That doesn't mean he'll get back on the court, but seeing him still in uniform is a fairly encouraging sign. 

Stay tuned, and think positive thoughts.
