Les Bowen says Westbrook might need surgery

[tr1]

It's being called a bone bruise in his right knee, and it's been drained at least once. It continues to swell, so he lays off it during the week, no practice, then plays on Sun.

The lisfranc injury was grade 1 and in his right foot last year.

The foot sprain was in his left foot this year in TC.

Both of those can change lower leg mechanics, and lead to other problems, but that's all speculative. It seems to be another problem.

Yes, one problem can lead to another. Back surgery can lead to knee problems. You can't prove one caused the other , but it's plausible. So maybe it's connected, but only in an indirect way. That's with the info we are being told.
