Russell Westbrook injury revives Bones Hyland

He was the big loser of James Harden's arrival at the Clippers. While he expected an important role this season with the Clippers, Bones Hyland is completely out of the rotation after the transfer of “The Beard”.

Since November 10, he has only played a few snippets of minutes, most often remaining glued to the bench.

Russell Westbrook's injury obviously changes the situation. Moreover, while the 2017 MVP left his partners against the Wizards, following his broken hand, Bones Hyland benefited from his most playing time since November. More than 16 minutes to end the match with 2 points at 1/7 shooting, but 7 assists.

” It's been a long time “ reacted the former Nuggets. “But honestly, I'm just ready to continue to contribute to the team, to build these wins and this momentum, to get to where we want to go. »

The young 23-year-old “combo guard” admits that the season was however complicated to manage, even if he thanks Russell Westbrook, who encouraged him during this long period during which he no longer played.

“Russ has been a great leader for me, since I’ve been here, and even before” he explains. “He's always been that guy that I can talk to…Throughout this whole process, he told me to not give up, to stay hungry, to keep working, to keep being myself and that everything would eventually fall into place. »
