LOS ANGELES — As the Los Angeles Clippers began to pour it on against the Washington Wizards in the third quarter Friday, bad news surfaced when the team announced guard Russell Westbrook had a left hand fracture. Westbrook sustained the injury in the first half of the Clippers’ 140-115 win, on Westbrook’s bobblehead night at Crypto.com Arena. Westbrook, 35, is a 17-year veteran who was averaging 11.1 points per game, 5.2 rebounds and 4.5 assists this season. It helped the Clippers to have Paul George back after he had missed two games with a left knee injury. The Clippers will play their next three games on the road, two of them against stiff competition.
