AURORA, Colo. - Derek Wolfe says hes finally healthy after suffering a seizure in November that doctors now believe was related to the spinal cord injury he suffered in the preseason. In an interview outside his home with Denver television stations KCNC and KMGH this week, the Broncos defensive lineman said hes back up to 280 pounds, having regained 20 of the 30 pounds he lost last season, and will resume training next week. "Im ready to go. Im going to be better than I was," said Wolfe, who had been reticent to talk to reporters during the season as he and his doctors were stumped by his symptoms that included weight loss and irritability. Wolfe was sidelined for 10 days in August after his arms and legs went numb following a frightening hit in a preseason game at Seattle on Aug. 17. He was cleared in time for the opener against Baltimore. Then, on a bus ride to the airport for a flight to Kansas City on Nov. 29, Wolfe suffered a seizure and was taken to University Hospital in Denver, where he underwent a battery of tests over four days. Wolfe practiced just twice after that, on Dec. 25 and 27, after which the Broncos sent him home to rest, realizing he wouldnt be able to return to help shore up their defence in the playoffs. "I had a bruise on my spinal cord," Wolfe told the stations. "... I thought it was fully healed and I came back a little too soon and I just kept hitting it, kept hitting it, kept hitting it. And it screwed my nervous system up a little bit, just kind of crisscrossed the wires a little bit. "And really just mentally, it was hard to deal with because I didnt know what was going on and why I was losing weight and all this, and my adrenals werent functioning right, nothing was really working right and what it came down to was I needed to let it heal, I needed to let myself heal. So, I took about two months and I just did nothing. And I feel better than Ive ever felt before." Wolfe said the seizure he suffered on the bus ride to the airport wasnt the kind where theres foaming at the mouth or convulsions but one in which he just suddenly felt very tired and started sweating profusely, which he dismissed as the effects of having just showered after practice and putting on his three-piece suit. "I was thinking I just need to get to the plane so I can take a nap," Wolfe recounted. He started to slump into the aisle, however, and Von Miller grabbed him and "Terrance Knighton started yelling, Stop the bus! Stop the bus!" Wolfe recounted. Twenty-six hours later, Wolfe woke up in intensive care. So confused about where he was and why he was strapped down, he broke the hospital bed before he could be calmed down, he said. At first, he didnt realize hed been there that long and his first question was whether hed be able to play against the Chiefs that weekend. Doctors told him theyd had to put him in a medically induced coma to run tests and do spinal taps to rule out such things as brain tumors. After his comeback stalled in December and he realized he wasnt going to get back on the field for the playoffs, Wolfe retreated to his home a few miles from team headquarters and he said didnt even watch football for a while. He did go to the Super Bowl, however, in New Jersey, where he and several other defensive starters such as Von Miller, Chris Harris Jr., Kevin Vickerson and Rahim Moore watched helplessly from the sideline as the Broncos were throttled 43-8 by the Seattle Seahawks. "It was tough to sit there and watch it happen because I think if our defence was healthy, its a different ballgame," Wolfe said. "... Nothing against Seattle, theyre a great football team and they played a really good game and they had a great season, but I just really would have liked to see what it would have been like to have our true defence out there."

Brooks drew up a play for Kevin Durant on Friday night, but it was Russell Westbrook that came through in the end. Westbrooks corner 3-pointer with 0.1 seconds left in overtime gave Oklahoma City a wild 113-112 victory over the Golden State Warriors. Brooks drew up the play to get Durant the ball, but the NBA scoring leaders floater missed with 12 seconds left. Officials called the ball out on Golden State and used replay to confirm the call. After the review, Serge Ibakas 15-foot jump shot missed the mark and the ball looked headed out of bounds before Thabo Sefoloshas diving save gave the Thunder one final try. Sefolosha found Westbrook, who took off one way, turned the other and drilled the 3-pointer over Harrison Barnes to give the Thunder the win. "When he tells people about out this one, he doesnt have to exaggerate it because theres no bigger fish story than what he did tonight," Brooks said of Westbrooks heroics. Westbrooks shot was reviewed as well but once again, replay sided with the Thunder. When Westbrook snagged the ball, there was no question he was going for the win. "Im not going to tie the game," Westbrook said. "Theres no need to tie the game. I did the same thing in Golden State but unfortunately it didnt work out for us." In that game on Nov. 14, it was the Warriors who came out ahead with a big last-second shot, when Andre Iguodalas fallaway jumper at the buzzer gave Golden State a 116-115 win. "It was a fortunate bounce for them," Golden States Stephen Curry said. "A lot of good things happened for them in that possession. Its frustrating for us tonight." Westbrook scored a season-high 34 points on 10-of-25 shooting, Durant added 25 and the Thunder won their sixth consecutive game overall and ninth straight at home to start the season. ";That was fun," Durant said.dddddddddddd "I was so excited for him. Its been a long time coming. Hes been working on that. He had that confidence to take that shot, so Im glad we won it. It was a fun game to be a part of." While Durant figures to get the majority of chances at game-winning shots, Westbrook is at least making Brooks think when he draws up plays in the final seconds. "Russell has the ability to make shots," Brooks said. "I look at it as Kevin and Russell have the ability to attract two guys on the ball." Ibaka continued his strong November with his third consecutive double-double, with 13 points and 10 rebounds. Curry had 32 points, hitting four 3-pointers, to lead the Warriors. Barnes added a career-high 26 points. The Thunder slowed down Golden States leading scorer, Klay Thompson, early. Thompson missed 11 of his first 12 shots and finished 5 of 19 from the floor. He hit just two of his nine 3-pointers. Durant had a chance to win it in regulation but missed a fadeaway jumper just before the buzzer. Durant helped the Thunder get back into the game after a quiet first three quarters, scoring 12 points in the fourth period. After the game, Brooks was looking forward to reliving the moment again. "Theres so many good moments I cant wait to watch it tonight," Brooks said. "These are the reasons were all in this, for moments that will last forever."
