Russell Westbrook

1:37 p.m. EDT April 26, 2013

Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook is having surgery to repair a lateral meniscus tear in knee, the team announced.

There is no timetable set for his return.

Westbrook was hurt in Game 2 of the Thunder’s playoff series against Houston on Wednesday night. Rookie Patrick Beverley lunged into him trying for a steal in the second quarter and his hip collided with Westbrook’s knee.

Westbrook has never previously missed a game in his four NBA seasons.

The three-time NBA All-Star averaged 23.2 points (sixth in NBA), 7.4 assists (seventh), a career-high 5.2 rebounds and 1.77 steals (ninth) in 82 games this season.

“Our players’ health is our first and foremost concern. The Thunder’s medical team and several specialists we consulted with determined that Russell undergo a procedure to address the issue,” said Thunder general manager Sam Presti. “We have thoroughly discussed this with Russell. Despite being the competitor and teammate that he is, he respects and understands the decision and is committed to come back even stronger.

“Certainly Russell is a leader and core player for this team, but we are in the midst of the playoffs and I know other players are determined to step up and contribute. We have a resilient group of players who have always taken pride in playing as a team and that approach will continue.”
