DENVER (AP) — Denver Nuggets point guard Russell Westbrook said he was having surgery Tuesday to fix two breaks in his right hand that he suffered during the season.

He wrote in his “ Word of Westbrook ” newsletter that he was “grateful for everyone’s support all year and I can’t wait to be back out there at 100% soon. The comeback is already in motion.”
