What happened to Giannis Antetokounmpo?

Giannis Antetokounmpo is facing challenges with tendinitis in his left Achilles tendon. The Milwaukee Bucks initially listed him as questionable for their Mar. 4 matchup against the Clippers.

However, after assessing his Achilles tendon during pregame warm-ups, it was determined that he was unable to participate.

Moreover, he has been noted in injury reports for tendinitis in the patellar tendon of his right knee, but the issue has not led him to sit out any games. However, it's the reason for him to be on the report in the upcoming contest.

He has taken part in 61 of the team's 64 games. The three games he did not play were due to various injuries: a right calf strain, a right shoulder contusion, and, most recently, tendinitis in his left Achilles tendon.

What happened to Russell Westbrook?

Clippers guard Russell Westbrook suffered a left-hand fracture against the Washington Wizards on Mar. 1.

The injury took place in the second quarter, just over 10 minutes before the halftime break. Westbrook was on defense against Washington Wizards guard Jordan Poole near the perimeter.

As Poole made his way up the court, Westbrook tried to navigate around a screen, shifted to Poole's left side and extended his hand to deflect the ball when the injury occurred.

The LA Clippers announced earlier this week that Russell Westbrook underwent successful surgery on Monday. It marks the beginning of a rehabilitation process aimed at returning Westbrook to the court in time for the playoffs.
