RUSSELL WESTBROOK INJURY PRONE?

A lateral meniscus tear has cost the Oklahoma City Thunder much worry for their starting Point Guard Russell WestBrook. Averaging Nearly 22 pts per game and 5 rebounds, Westbrook is heavily accredited for the soaring Thunder start in this NBA 2013-2014 Season. Looking forward, how will his recovery effect his gameplay long-term? With a similar gamestyle like that of Derrick Rose, Westbrooks' attributes include reckless slashing into the heart of the Defense, a headstrong approach that has led only to hazardous injury for these "new-aged" guards. As of now the Thunder sit at the top of the Western Conference, but with Russell missing the next 27 games it will be interesting to see how they weather the storm.
