Former MVP guard Russell Westbrook's signing with the Sacramento Kings might prompt an additional deal, even ahead of the season.
Throughout the offseason, former league MVP Russell Westbrook was unsure if he was going to be on an NBA team’s roster come opening night, despite a fairly productive 2024-25 season with the Denver Nuggets.
Russell Westbrook appears excited to start life at the Sacramento Kings and was seen in high spirits during a recent fan fest.
The soon-to-be-37-year-old is slated to embark on his 18th pro season in 2025-26. He's among the 15 oldest active players in the league, and he's struggling to find his footing in his transition from his nine-time All-Star heights to his current reality as a bench guard.
