The Sacramento Kings have signed guard Russell Westbrook.
“Russell embodies the identity we’re striving for in Sacramento,” said Kings General Manager Scott Perry. “His resume speaks for itself and I’m excited to work with someone so accomplished, who is fully committed to competing and winning. We expect him to strengthen our point guard position and provide leadership both on and off the court.”
Westbrook spent the 2024-25 season with the Denver Nuggets, averaging 13.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 1.4 steals per game in 75 games (36 starts). He ranked 18th in assists and 19th in steals per game and finished last season 13th in both total assists (457) and steals (106).
The 17-year NBA veteran joins Sacramento with a resume that includes the 2016-2017 League MVP award, nine All-NBA honors (two-time 1st Team, five-time 2nd Team, two-time 3rd Team), nine All-Star appearances and two All-Star game MVPs, while also being named to the NBA 75th Anniversary Team in 2021-22. Westbrook is the NBA’s all-time leader in triple-doubles (203) and previously led the League in scoring (2014-15, 2016-17) and assists (2017-18, 2018-19, 2020-21).
