The Nuggets won’t have Russell Westbrook as they try to even their series with the Clippers later today, the team announced (via Twitter).

Westbrook has been dealing with inflammation in his left foot that limited him to nine minutes in the Game 3 loss on Thursday. He contributed just three points, one rebound and one assist and didn’t play in the second half as Denver trailed badly on the way to a 34-point defeat.

The teams split a pair of close contests to begin the series, and Westbrook played a large role in making the games competitive. He had 15 points, eight rebounds and three assists in 34 minutes in the opener and made several huge defensive plays down the stretch as the Nuggets won in overtime. He followed that with 14 points, four rebounds and one assist while playing 23 minutes in Game 2.

Game 5 isn’t until Tuesday night in Denver, so Westbrook will have a couple of days to rest as he tries to get back on the court.

Injuries are taking a toll on the Nuggets, but the team confirmed that Michael Porter Jr. will be available for Game 4. Porter hurt his left shoulder late in Game 2 when Kris Dunn landed on him while they were chasing a loose ball. Porter was able to play 35 minutes on Thursday, but he shot 2-of-9 from the field and was limited to seven points.
