And who else was on scene to help out Westbrook, LeBron James, of course.
NBA Twitter gives LeBron a new nickname as he helps out Westbrook!
So, LeBron’s new name is “LeDoctor”. If you go to the same tweet we showed for the injury, you will see the NBA Twitter has given LeBron a new name.
LeDoctor just saved Russ’ life! Russell Westbrook was bleeding profusely but luckily Doctor James was there to step in and stop the bleeding. Very scary situation! Glad the Doc was there to save him!

Of course, Skip had to act hard and tough.
Zach Collins just caught Russell Westbrook across forehead as he fouled him – drew blood. 1st glance, didn’t look that bad but Collins ejected w a flagrant 2. But bc Russ went after him, Russ got a tech. Back in the day, that play would’ve been a common foul, no flagrant or tech.

Westbrook later came on with a bandage. What do you think of the incident? Later Russ and the Lakers would go on to win. Westbrook put up 11-8-6, great productivity off the bench. LeBron or should we say LeDoctor, put up a clinic.
He scored 39 and had 11 boards for a monster double double.
