Russell Westbrook just ended his first season with the Denver Nuggets, but there are many questions about what’s next for him.
Those questions become even louder when fans dig into Westbrook’s numbers from his team’s series against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
According to Kevin O’Connor, Westbrook had a -92 plus-minus rating in the Nuggets/Thunder series.
He averaged 9.9 points, 2.4 assists, and 2.6 turnovers, shooting 34.8 percent from the field and 21.9 percent from the three-point line.
This was not a great series for Westbrook against his former team.

For the season, Westbrook averaged 13.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 6.1 assists for the Nuggets.
Naturally, there were a lot of worries about Westbrook when he signed with Denver but he did an admirable job of both coming off the bench and starting in games.
He made his fair share of mistakes, but he also brought a level of intensity and commitment that fans were happy to see.
Still, it will be hard to forget these numbers from this Thunder series, and they might have a massive impact on Westbrook’s future.
He has hopped around the league over the last few years, playing for the Washington Wizards, Los Angeles Lakers, Clippers, and now the Nuggets.
He has had a tough time settling down for too long, and his loyal fans were hoping that would change with the Nuggets.
But Westbrook has been non-committal about what’s next for him, and there is a chance he could be moving on to yet another franchise in the months ahead.
If he has played his last game for the Nuggets, fans will have a difficult time forgetting how poorly he did against the Thunder.
And if he comes back in the fall, he will have to work hard to redeem himself.
