Top Russell Westbrook News

  • Nuggets' Russell Westbrook: Returning to reserve role

    Westbrook will come off the bench in Friday's matchup with the Heat.

    With Jamal Murray (concussion) returning from a three-game absence, Westbrook will go back to his role as the No. 2 point guard. The 35-year-old has averaged 8.8 points, 3.4 rebounds and 4.0 assists across 20.8 minutes in five games off the bench this season.

  • Nuggets' Russell Westbrook: Turns back clock Wednesday

    Westbrook amassed 29 points (10-15 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 6-9 FT), six rebounds, six assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 124-122 victory over Oklahoma City.

    Westbrook has been starting in place of Jamal Murray (concussion) in recent games, and the veteran floor general turned back the clock in this one, delivering an impressive performance and filling out the stat sheet against his former team. Westbrook has scored at least 20 points in his last two starts and is averaging 18.3 points, 6.3 assists, 5.0 rebounds and 2.3 steals per game while replacing Murray in the first unit over the last three contests.

  • Nuggets' Russell Westbrook: Steps up with solid game

    Westbrook chipped in 21 points (6-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 8-10 FT), six rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal across 34 minutes during Monday's 121-119 win over Toronto.

    Although his stat line doesn't reflect it, Westbrook was excellent on defense, blanketing RJ Barrett for much of the game. Westbrook also thwarted Barrett's last-second attempt to tie the game, forcing him to take an off-balance, low-percentage shot. Thanks to Westbrook, Jamal Murray's (concussion) absence has had little effect on Denver's short-term outlook.

  • Nuggets' Russell Westbrook: Starting vs. Utah

    Westbrook is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Jazz.

    Westbrook will start at point guard for the first time this season while Jamal Murray (concussion) is sidelined. Through the first five games of the regular season, Westbrook is averaging 8.8 points, 4.0 assists, 3.4 rebounds and 1.4 steals over 20.8 minutes per game.

  • Nuggets' Russell Westbrook: Efficient effort in OT win

    Westbrook totaled 22 points (5-12 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 10-10 FT), one rebound, five assists and one steal over 21 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 144-139 overtime victory over the Nets.

    After failing to score in double digits during his first three games with Denver, Westbrook broke out Tuesday by drawing plenty of contact and converting at the free-throw line. The 35-year-old guard averaged a career-low 11.1 points a game with the Clippers in 2023-24 and likely won't be a consistent offensive threat at this stage of his career, but he can still deliver occasional upside from the Nuggets' second unit.

  • Nuggets' Russell Westbrook: Will play Thursday

    Westbrook (rest) will be available for Thursday's preseason game against the Timberwolves, head coach Michael Malone told Katy Winge of Altitude Sports.

    It's unclear if Westbrook will start or play off the bench, but given that almost everybody will be available for Denver, it wouldn't be surprising if the veteran point guard is part of the second unit. After all, that's the role he'll have once the 2024-25 begins for Denver against the Thunder on Oct. 24.

  • Nuggets' Russell Westbrook: Out Tuesday

    Westbrook (rest) will not play in Tuesday's preseason game against Oklahoma City.

    Westbrook -- along with Jamal Murray (rest), Nikola Jokic (rest) and Peyton Watson (hamstring) -- will be held out of preseason action Tuesday night, according to head coach Michael Malone. Westbrook's final opportunity to suit up before the regular season begins will be Thursday evening against Minnesota.

  • Nuggets' Russell Westbrook: Back in lineup

    Westbrook (rest) posted nine points (3-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and six assists in 24 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 118-114 preseason loss to the Suns.

    Westbrook missed the team's previous game for rest purposes but returned to the rotation Sunday. Westbrook will likely be a key piece coming off the bench behind Jamal Murray this season -- his first in Denver.

  • Nuggets' Russell Westbrook: Won't play Sunday

    Westbrook (rest) will not play in Sunday's preseason game against the Celtics in Abu Dhabi, Bennett Durando of The Denver Post reports.

    After a solid all-around preseason debut with the Nuggets, Westbrook will take Sunday off. The All-Star's absence will likely allow coach Mike Malone to get a better look at Trey Alexander and Jalen Pickett. However, when the regular season begins, Westbrook is expected to be the next man up behind Jamal Murray at point guard.

  • Nuggets' Russell Westbrook: Solid in preseason debut

    Westbrook delivered 12 points (3-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and eight assists across 19 minutes off the bench in Friday's 107-103 preseason loss to the Celtics.

    The shooting line wasn't good, but Westbrook racked up stats left and right while seeing a decent amount of minutes -- compared to the starters -- in the preseason opener. The veteran is expected to open the season as Jamal Murray's primary backup and main second-unit scoring threat, but don't be surprised if he sees decent run with the first unit as well, particularly when closing out games.
