Houston Rockets confirm via Twitter Russell Westbrook is available for Game 5.
Oklahoma City’s win tied the series 2-2, with Game 5 set for Saturday night (6:30 ET). Westbrook was ruled out for the start of first-round shortly after the seeding games portion of the 2019-20 season restart ended.
Westbrook has been trying to play through the injury during the season restart. In a 110-102 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers on Aug. 4, he made 5 of 12 free throws and finished with 15 points and nine assists; that snapped a streak of 36 straight games with at least 20 points. Westbrook missed the next two games with what was described as a right quadriceps contusion.
Westbrook is averaging 27.2 points, 7.9 rebounds and 7.0 assists this season for Houston.
