Russell Westbrook is currently in the middle of his first season playing for the Denver Nuggets.

The 2017 MVP is averaging 13.0 points, 5.1 rebounds, 6.4 assists and 1.5 steals per contest while shooting 47.7% from the field and 33.1% from the three-point range in 48 games.

However, Westbrook has missed each of the previous two games with an injury.

On Monday, head coach Michael Malone provided a disappointing update on the 36-year-old.

Via Harrison Wind of DNVR Sports: “No timeline or timeframe for Russell Westbrook (hamstring strain) to return to the Nuggets lineup, Michael Malone says.”

Many people reacted to the news.
