I thought Westbrick might only be out for 10 days. That's no big deal. Is the news really longer than that?
I remember when the Dolphins were perennial contenders

10 days are not a big deal in the playoffs? Westbrook is by far their second best player and even if he was to return, it'd take a while for him to get his rhythm back. This injury is a massive blow for Thunder, no matter if he's out for 10 or 20 or 30 days.

All these injuries, have really changed the landscape of the nba playoffs.. Now OKC isn´t a lock for the finals, the west playoffs are going to be really interesting, i´m betting Nuggets or Clippers make it out West.

No it's not.

Wade will likely be 10 days in between games. In the first round on a championship team you TAKE 10 days and get your player right.

Sad, for Westbrook and Thunder fans, to hear that it's much worse than 10 days.

Wade is gonna be able to afford to miss 10 games. In the Thunder's case, that may not have been possible. Aside of that, you're still gonna have to reestablish your rhythm, so yes, it is huge given he might've missed two or three games and then needed some more to get comfortable again.
