A visibly still crippled Russell Westbrook led a contingent of Oklahoma City Thunder players on a series of hospital tours to visit kids injured in this week’s storm.
Mere hours after star forward Kevin Durant pledged a $1 million donation to relief efforts, Westbrook, Jeremy Lamb, Hasheem Thabeet, DeAndre Liggins and Coach Scott brooks all met with victimized families. Yahoo! Sports reports the highlight of the day came when Westbrook, still confined to a wheelchair recuperating from the torn right meniscus injury that prematurely ended his season, exchanged high-fives and blew bubbles with 3-year-old Grayson Ketchie.
Young Grayson was injured after the tornado destroyed the day care facility where he and six-month-old brother were staying during the storm. His brother escaped uninjured.
