Yes, Russell Westbrook is still in the National Basketball Association; even if playing for Washington has him close to oblivion. Westbrook added to his resume of chippy encounters with fans after leaving the Wizards Game 2 loss in Philadelphia with an apparent ankle injury. poured popcorn through the opening between the awning and Westbrook wanted a piece of the perpetrator - who was ejected from the premises. Count Westbrook amongst those who wish full lockdown protocols were still in place. And a friendly memo to the Philadelphia fan base. If you see someone throwing food at opposing players, text to security and get them kicked out. You don't live in Salt Lake!
UPDATE: The offender has had his season ticket privileges revoked and banned indefinitely from all events at Wells Fargo Center. Meanwhile, Westbrook's post-game presser was epic...
