LA Clippers point guard Russell Westbrook is expected to return to the lineup next week, perhaps as soon as Monday against the Indiana Pacers, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

He joined ESPNNewYork.com after working at the New York Daily News for almost 12 years and is a graduate of Michigan State University.Monday's game against the Pacers will mark three weeks from when Westbrook underwent surgery to repair a fractured left hand he suffered March 1 against Washington.
Westbrook is averaging 11.1 points, 5.1 rebounds and 4.4 assists this season in 58 games. He started the first 10 games of the season but made the move to come off the bench to help the Clippers mesh better after the Harden explained that he was trying to lighten the mood for the Clippers, who had been in a little bit of a funk up to that point.
