Already in great difficulty, Russell Westbrook had a rather awkward moment during the pre-match against Spurs. It may seem trivial, but it’s not nothing for the leader, clearly lacking in confidence at the moment. The video is already making the rounds on the networks.
After regaining the taste of victory, the Lakers faced the Spurs this Monday evening, in Texas. First big problem? The absence of LeBron James, victim of a new glitch in the knee. This is not the right time, especially since Anthony Davis is already absent. The result was felt after 48 minutes.
117-110, and now San Antonio recovers another victory, the 25th of the season. The Angelinos couldn’t do anything, with Malik Monk rather clumsy at 8/22 shooting, including 1/7 from three points. Russell Westbrook ? He finishes with 17 units, at 5/14 to shoot. It’s not a terrible match for the point guard, but still far from his status.
Big lack of confidence for Russ Westbrook!
Basically, Russ also came for that: to relieve the stars and take over. The former Thunder player did not succeed in his mission against the Spurs, but we should not necessarily be surprised. During a short sequence before the game, Westbrook had announced the color.

Going to make a big dunk by throwing the ball against the board, Russ simply aimed too high. The sequel speaks for itself, but it says a lot about the player’s confidence. Can he still wake up? Many have doubts.
With this dunk completely missed in training, Russell Westbrook confirms that he is not in the shape of his life. A very complex period for the leader, who will have to find a way to help the Lakers at the end of the season. Otherwise, a departure during the summer seems inevitable.
