Russell Westbrook Fantasy Stats

Sacramento Kings point guard Russell Westbrook (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. The veteran star recently missed three games with a sore foot and is now dealing with a left ankle issue. With Westbrook on the shelf, fantasy managers should give Devin Carter a look, especially with four other regulars missing Wednesday's game. Carter has averaged 13.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 4.3 assists across the last four games. On Wednesday, he will face a team that has allowed the most fantasy points to point guards this season.

Sacramento Kings point guard Russell Westbrook (foot) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Wednesday's matchup with the Memphis Grizzlies. The former MVP has shaken off foot soreness, which cost him three games. Although Westbrook has been productive with the Kings this season, he has struggled against the Grizzlies. In two games in the matchup, the veteran star has averaged 7.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 5.5 assists, with 25.0 percent shooting from the field.

Sacramento Kings point guard Russell Westbrook (foot) will miss a third straight game on Sunday against the Washington Wizards. He can't play against his former team due to a right foot contusion. The team initially listed Westbrook as questionable for the game. Fortunately for Sacramento, Malik Monk (ankle) has been cleared to play, and he looks set to have a major role in the rotation. Devin Carter and Nique Clifford could also be more involved due to the lack of backcourt options on the team.

Sacramento Kings point guard Russell Westbrook (foot) will sit out a second consecutive game on Friday versus the Boston Celtics. Westbrook hurt his right foot earlier this week and has landed on the shelf for the first time this season. Dennis Schroder took over starting point-guard duties on Thursday against the Philadelphia 76ers, scoring a season-high 27 points. He could be even more involved in the offense against Boston, with Domantas Sabonis (knee) joining Westbrook on the sidelines. An uptick in usage is also expected for DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine.

Sacramento Kings guard Russell Westbrook (foot) was originally questionable for Thursday's game against the 76ers but was downgraded to out on Thursday afternoon. The game is the first half of a back-to-back that finishes Friday in Boston, so Westbrook may be able to get back in action right away on Friday. Without him against the Sixers, Dennis Schroder, Keon Ellis, and Nique Clifford will get more minutes and usage. Malik Monk (ankle) remains questionable and could also help carry the load if he's able to play through his ankle soreness.

Sacramento Kings point guard Russell Westbrook (foot) is on the injury report with a questionable tag ahead of Thursday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. The former MVP is experiencing soreness in his right foot. Considering Westbrook's nature as a player, this doesn't appear to be a serious enough issue to keep him off the court. However, he hasn't yet missed any games this season and may need some rest to heal from bumps and bruises. Malik Monk (ankle) is also questionable for Thursday's game, so there could be a huge amount of available minutes in Sacramento's backcourt. Dennis Schroder, Keon Ellis, and Nique Clifford are all candidates for larger roles, with Schroder expected to step into the starting lineup in place of Westbrook if he's unavailable.

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.
