The Los Angeles Clippers will lock horns against Denver Nuggets for Game 4 in the ongoing first-round NBA Playoff series on Saturday, April 26 at the Intuit Dome. The main talking point from the Denver Nuggets point of view would be whether Russell Westbrook features against the Los Angeles Clippers or not.

Will Russell Westbrook play against Los Angeles Clippers?

The Nuggets face a challenging situation when it comes to Russell Westbrook ahead of the Game 4 against the LA Clippers. He sees his name on the team's injury report as he is listed as questionable. He is suffering from a left foot inflammation. The 36-year-old point guard injured himself during the Game 3.

He was forced to leave the court as he injured himself in the second quarter and headed straight towards locker room. Westbrook didn't even return for the game. His potential absence from the clash would only hurt Nuggets chances of leveling the series. Currently, the Clippers are leading the seven game series 2-1. 

During the media duties on the eve of Game 4, Head coach David Adelman spoke on the status of Russell Westbrook and even mentioned that the team is ready to compete, regardless of whether the point guard plays or not. 

They checked him out this morning. So we’ll kind of gauge that as we go, David Adelman said of Westbrook. And if Russ plays or doesn’t play, we’re gonna take a look at our rotation. We may play different people. See who can impact the game with how (the Clippers) are guarding and how we’re trying to guard.

Meanwhile, Russell Westbrook only managed to play for nine minutes during Game 3. In those nine minutes he recorded three points, one rebound and one assist. He shot 1 of 5 from the floor, with all his attempts coming from beyond the arc.
