WESTBROOK BEGINS WORKING OUT WITH ROCKETS

Rockets’ guard Russell Westbrook says Wednesday that he is "thankful and blessed" to be able to participate in practice again after recovering from the coronavirus.

Westbrook spoke to the media before Wednesday's practice, his first with the team since clearing the NBA's quarantine protocol at the league's Walt Disney World campus. He arrived in Orlando, Florida, on Monday after twice testing negative.

Westbrook said he was asymptomatic "other than a stuffy nose" and was able to do conditioning workouts during his quarantine at home.
