Recent developments: The injury has been described as irritation in the first toe joint of his right foot, with MRI confirming the toe involvement. With the Kings out of playoff contention in some reports, there’s been speculation about whether he returns this season, but no official return date has been announced.

Team context: Westbrook has occasionally been in and out of the lineup this season, and his absence has led to increased opportunities for teammates like Killian Hayes and Devin Carter in the Kings’ backcourt.
