Russell Westbrook has confirmed that he will wear No. 4 for the Denver Nuggets instead of his preferred No. 0 jersey, which was held by teammate Christian Braun. Initially, Westbrook inquired about taking No. 0, a number he has been associated with throughout his career, but Braun refused to give it up. After the situation gained media attention, Westbrook took to Instagram to clarify that there was no discussion about the number and emphasized his positive relationship with Braun. Westbrook's decision to choose a new number marks a fresh start with the Nuggets after signing a two-year contract following a season with the Clippers. Despite the change, fans may find it unusual to see him without his trademark number, but Westbrook's focus remains on contributing to the team as they prepare for the upcoming season.
