Russell Westbrook's Future: Sacramento Kings Emerge as Most Likely Destination in Free Agency

Free agent guard Russell Westbrook is reportedly considered the Sacramento Kings' most likely destination, according to league sources and ESPN's Tim McMahon. If he joins the Kings, the veteran is expected to come off the bench and share ball-handling duties with Dennis Schroder. Westbrook spent the 2024-25 season with the Denver Nuggets, where he averaged 13.3 points, 6.1 assists, and 4.9 rebounds per game in a reserve role, and the Kings are reportedly seeking veteran experience and a scoring threat.
