Russell Westbrook Out Wednesday Due to New Left Ankle Soreness

Westbrook (left ankle soreness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Jazz. This ankle issue is a new concern for the Kings guard, whose next opportunity to play will be after the All-Star break on Feb. 19 against the Magic. Sacramento will be extremely shorthanded in their final game before the break, with Nique Clifford, Devin Carter, and Daeqwon Plowden expected to see increased minutes.
