Friday, May 28, 2021. 6:18 PM

The Washington Wizards are crossing their fingers over the state of health of star guard Russell Westbrook as his presence is uncertain heading into Saturday’s game.

Westbrook appeared to sprain his ankle in Game 2 of the series against the Philadelphia 76ers with just 10 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter.

He also had an ankle drawback in a defensive confrontation at the expense of Ben Simmons earlier in the game.

As he left the field to the locker room, Westbrook was given popcorn on the head by a supporter. The latter was expelled from the amphitheater.

Westbrook didn’t train on Friday and he is expected to put his ankle to the test on Saturday. The Wizards are trailing 2-0 in this first-round series.
