Unsigned Russell Westbrook Draws Interest From Bucks, Timberwolves, Kings

Russell Westbrook, a 36-year-old NBA veteran and former MVP, remains a free agent entering his 18th season after declining his player option with the Denver Nuggets. Despite his age, Westbrook continues to show value, averaging 13.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 6.1 assists last season, and is considered a potential addition for teams seeking experienced guard depth. The Milwaukee Bucks have recently emerged as a surprising suitor, aiming to fill their point guard void after parting ways with Damian Lillard, seeing Westbrook's athleticism as a good fit alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo. Meanwhile, there is speculation about the Minnesota Timberwolves signing Westbrook to bolster their backcourt, given their need for veteran guard presence alongside Anthony Edwards. Off the court, Westbrook has also launched a fashion blog called “Word of Westbrook,” sharing style tips and engaging fans with giveaways, highlighting his personal brand beyond basketball. His next destination remains uncertain, but Westbrook's combination of experience, playmaking, and leadership continues to attract interest in the NBA free agency market.
