Westbrook spent last season with the Denver Nuggets.
He signed with the Kings right before the start of the 2025-26 season.
That said, the nine-time All-Star has been playing some of his best basketball of the last three years.
Via Real Sports: “Russell Westbrook over his last 3 games: 24.3 PPG 11.3 RPG 8.3 APG 3.7 3PM 60/58/86% One of the most efficient stretches of his entire career… in Year 18”
Westbrook spent the first 11 years of his career playing for the Thunder (and he helped them reach the NBA Finals in 2012).
In addition to the Kings, Nuggets and Thunder, the former UCLA star has also played for the Houston Rockets, Washington Wizards, LA Clippers and Los Angeles Lakers.
He has career averages of 21.1 points, 7.0 rebounds, 8.0 assists and 1.6 steals per contest while shooting 43.9% from the field and 30.6% from three-point range in 1,245 games.
Via @PolymarketHoops: “Russell Westbrook as a starter this season: 20.2 PPG 9.0 RPG 6.6 APG 3.2 3PM 53/52/82%”
The Kings are the 12th seed in the Western Conference with a 3-6 record in nine games.
They will play their next game on Sunday when they remain at home to host the Minnesota Timberwolves.
