It was another tough outing for the Sacramento Kings, losing to the Los Angeles Lakers in a relatively competitive match. One of the bright spots in a painful evening was Russell Westbrook, who busted out some of that old Brodie magic for his new team.
No one really understood why Westbrook left the Denver Nuggets after last season. He played reasonably well there, seemed to fit in nicely, and appeared to be quite happy on the roster. Yet, he chose to explore free agency when the 2024-2025 season came to an end.
It probably didn't quite work out the way Russell envisioned.
