Russell Westbrook Fantasy Stats

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, free-agent guard Russell Westbrook has agreed to a one-year, $3.6 million deal with the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday. The 36-year-old veteran is expected to serve as a backup to Dennis Schroder, providing much-needed depth to a Kings bench that struggled to produce last season. While his MVP days are behind him, Westbrook is coming off a solid campaign with the Nuggets, averaging 13.3 points, 6.1 assists, and 4.9 rebounds across 75 appearances. He should still deliver occasional bursts of fantasy value throughout the year in a reserve role.

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, free-agent guard Russell Westbrook and the Sacramento Kings have a "strong mutual interest" in a contract heading into the 2025 campaign. The Kings struggled to get production from the bench in 2024, so adding Westbrook could go a long way in helping the team stay competitive throughout the season. The 36-year-old averaged 13.3 points, 6.1 assists, and 4.9 rebounds last season for the Nuggets. However, he declined his $3.5 million player option to become a free agent. Sacramento has an open roster spot, although only time will tell if both sides can work out a new deal. While Westbrook should still have some gas left in the tank, his MVP days are likely well behind him. Still, he should offer flashes of fantasy production throughout the season, assuming he eventually lands a contract.

Point guard Russell Westbrook is expected to end up with the Sacramento Kings for the start of the new season. ESPN's Tim MacMahon reports that league sources consider Sacramento the most likely destination for the former MVP. Westbrook became an unrestricted free agent this offseason after declining a $3.47 million player option to return to the Denver Nuggets. While Westbrook is way past his peak, he can still make plenty of noise in the right circumstances. Last season, the 36-year-old veteran averaged 15.3 points, 6.1 rebounds, 7.0 assists, and 1.7 steals in 38 starts with the Nuggets. His fantasy production might be limited in Sacramento, as Westbrook is seen as Dennis Schroder's backup.

According to NBA insider Marc Stein, guard Russell Westbrook will decline his $3.47 million player option with the Denver Nuggets, making him an unrestricted free agent. The 36-year-old averaged 13.3 points, 6.1 assists, 1.4 steals, and 32.3% shooting from behind the arc with Denver last season, an increase from the marks he had with the Clippers during the 2023-24 campaign. There's a chance Westbrook will remain with the Nuggets. He'll likely also entertain offers from other clubs around the National Basketball Association. Where he ultimately signs will determine how things will look from a fantasy standpoint. However, it's safe to assume his MVP and All-Star days are likely well behind him, regardless of what team he suits up for come October.

Denver Nuggets point guard Russell Westbrook has undergone surgery on his right hand. The team announced that the procedure was necessary to repair multiple ligament tears in his hand. In the announcement, the Nuggets mentioned that Westbrook is expected to resume full offseason training in the summer. This indicates that he will be at 100 percent for the start of next season. The former MVP has a $3.47 million player option for the 2025-26 campaign. While coming off the bench for most of the season, Westbrook averaged 13.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, 6.1 assists, and 1.4 steals in his first year with the Nuggets. He isn't the player he once was, but he can still make an impact in fantasy basketball.

Denver Nuggets point guard Russell Westbrook (hand) carries a probable tag on the injury report for Sunday's Game 7 against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The former MVP is dealing with a right-hand sprain, but it looks like the injury will not keep him off the floor on Sunday. Westbrook has averaged 10.5 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 2.5 assists in 23.0 minutes against the Thunder in the series. Denver may consider giving him a more important role on Sunday if Aaron Gordon (hamstring) has to drop out of the lineup.

Denver Nuggets guard Russell Westbrook (foot) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Clippers. The 36-year-old was limited to only eight minutes in Game 3 because of foot inflammation, an injury that caused him to miss Game 4 on Saturday. However, Westbrook's absence didn't allow anyone else to see more action, with Peyton Watson the only player to see over 10 minutes from off the bench. Instead, all five starters logged at least 42 minutes. If Westbrook remains out, the starting lineup should continue to get all the work they can handle, assuming Michael Porter Jr. (shoulder), who is probable, gets the green light to suit up.

Denver Nuggets guard Russell Westbrook (foot) won't play on Saturday against the Clippers. The multi-time All-Star combined for 29 points in the first two games of this series. Unfortunately, he had only three points in Game 3 and was limited to eight minutes of action. It's unknown if Westbrook will be ready to return for Game 5. In the meantime, Peyton Watson and Jalen Pickett should see more work from off the bench. Still, interim head coach David Adelman will presumably give his starting lineup all the minutes they can handle, which could make it difficult for Watson and Pickett to do anything meaningful for DFS managers.

Denver Nuggets guard Russell Westbrook (hamstring) isn't listed on the injury report heading into Thursday's game versus the Hornets. Westbrook last played on January 31. Unfortunately, he's missed the last seven games because of a hamstring injury. The 36-year-old had averaged 14.6 points in 17 appearances in January, a significant bump in production since averaging 9.8 points in eight games in October. However, with the Nuggets having success without Westbrook in the starting lineup, winning their previous eight contests, he may find himself coming off the bench. If that happens, he could have a tough time remaining as productive.

Denver Nuggets guard Russell Westbrook (hamstring) is expected to get back on the court after the All-Star break, according to head coach Mike Malone. Westbrook missed the final seven games before the break due to a left hamstring strain. Before going down, Westbrook was making a solid contribution with 13 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 6.4 assists across 27 minutes per game. Christian Braun has been playing a bigger role lately with over 30 minutes of action in six of his last seven games. He'll continue to have increased fantasy value until Westbrook returns to the court. Fantasy managers who have Westbrook rostered should be able to get him back in their lineups after the break.
