(SportsRadio 610) -- The Houston Rockets have ruled guard Russell Westbrook out for Game 5 against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday.
The series is tied 2-2 after the Rockets dropped the last two games against OKC.
Westbrook has missed every game of the series because of a strained right quadriceps muscle.
There had been reports before the playoffs began that Westbrook would likely miss the first round, but the Rockets had been treating him as game-to-game since the series started.
