Westbrook had been a free agent until right before the start of the 2025-26 season when he signed with the Kings.
He is averaging 15.5 points, 5.4 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1.3 steals per contest while shooting 43.1% from the field and 34.3% from three-point range in 61 games.
James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento wrote: “3. Vintage Russ. Russell Westbrook had a little extra juice for his former Clippers teammates. The 37-year-old stuffed the statsheet with 12 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists and 4 steals. He had a few turnovers and his shooting numbers weren’t great, but another solid performance.”
