The Nuggets provided an update on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/basketball\/russell-westbrook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Russell Westbrook\u2019s status<\/a>, listing the mercurial guard as &#8220;questionable&#8221; on the latest injury report.<\/p>\n<p>Westbrook is dealing with left foot inflammation, an injury he sustained during Game 3 that also sidelined him for Game 4.

As for Westbrook, when asked about his availability for Game 5 by NBA insider Ramona Shelburne following Game 4, the veteran guard remained non-committal, keeping his status for the pivotal game shrouded in uncertainty.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I asked Russell Westbrook about his injured left foot postgame. He smiled and said, \u201cThat\u2019s a trick question.\u201d I laughed and said, \u201cNo trick. It\u2019s my job to ask if you\u2019ll be back for Game 5.\u201d Russ says, \u201cI\u2019ll be in the building.\u201d Touch\u00e8, Russ. My wording left that open,&#8221; Shelburne tweeted.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/us\/wnba\/news-cameron-brink-names-one-thing-threw-off-russell-westbrook-s-wnba-fashion-collab\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Russell Westbrook<\/a> played a key role in the Nuggets&#8217; Game 1 victory at home, with his defensive tenacity and relentless hustle standing out throughout his time on the floor. However, in his most recent outing, Westbrook\u2019s minutes were limited to just nine after he was forced to exit the game due to injury.<\/p>\n<h2>Where to watch LA Clippers vs. Denver Nuggets?<\/h2>\n<p>The LA Clippers vs. Denver Nuggets game will take place on Tuesday, April 29, at the Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado.
