Russell Westbrook to Make Season Debut vs. Kings After Knee Injury Recovery

Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook could provide the spark needed to get the team their first win of 2018-19 season.

The Thunder announced Westbrook will be in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Sacramento Kings.

The 29-year-old UCLA product was a model of durability over the previous three seasons, missing just five total games over that span. He missed the start of the current campaign while recovering from arthroscopic knee surgery in mid-September, which kept him out for Oklahoma City's first two games.

Westbrook is building one of the best resumes of any active NBA player with an MVP Award, seven All-Star Game selections, two All-NBA First Team nods and two scoring titles.
