The Knicks season that already appears to be headed for a long, ugly journey just got a little harder as it was announced that Russell Westbrook will return for the Oklahoma City Thunder tonight, just in time to welcome the Knicks. At first glance the matchup against OKC could of been good for the Knicks as they struggle early in the season and could use a win against a depleted Thunder team. That theory however changed real fast with this announcement.

Westbrook has missed 14 games after injuring his hand in the second game of the season against the Clippers. There is nobody at point guard for New York to even come close to stopping Russ so this might be a big problem.

The Thunder need this badly to get back into the hunt for the playoffs in the western conference. They hope Kevin Durant will join his Thunder buddy Russell on the court and return very soon.
