The Sacramento Kings and nine-time NBA All-Star Russell Westbrook have officially agreed to a one-year, minimum contract for the 2025-26 season, league sources told ClutchPoints on Wednesday.
Westbrook, 36, had originally opted out of his contract with the Denver Nuggets due to concerns about playing time in order to pursue other opportunities around the league. While the Kings had maintained interest in communication with Westbrook since the start of free agency, he remained a free agent through the start of training camp.
This offseason, Sacramento had pursued multiple players , like Dennis Schroder and Jonathan Kuminga, which ultimately stalled negotiations between Westbrook and the organization.
