Entering the weekend matchup, Westbrook is averaging 14.4 points, 7.2 assists and 6.9 boards. He joined Sacramento as his seventh NBA team via a one-year, $3.6 million veteran's minimum contract this past offseason.
Up next for Westbrook to surpass is Mark Jackson's career 10,334 assists. John Stockton remains the No. 1 in the category, who registered a staggering 15,806 dimes in his 19-year NBA run.
