Russell Westbrook may see more floor time at point guard than he expected to begin the season. The Sonics announced late Tuesday that veteran point guard Earl Watson fractured his right thumb on his shooting hand, and could miss up to four months. At the latest, that would put Watson's return at the end of training camp.
Watson suffered the injury while playing basketball in Los Angeles, and is scheduled to have surgery on Thursday in Los Angeles.
"We are confident Earl will work hard towards a healthy and timely recovery and look forward to getting him back on the court," Seattle general manager Sam Presti said in a prepared statement.
Watson averaged career highs in points (10.7), assists (6.8), rebounds (2.9) and minutes (29.1) last season. Over his seven-year NBA career, Watson has averaged 7.4 ppg, 4.5 apg and 2.2 rpg.
