ANALYSIS: Westbrook joins multiple other Lakers, such as Dwight Howard and Talen Horton-Tucker, as players in the league's protocols. The veteran point guard had 23 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists in yesterday's overtime win against the Mavericks. L.A. reportedly signed Isaiah Thomas to a 10-day contract today, and he may be thrust into action early with Westbrook sidelined.
