According to NBA reporter Evan Sidery<\/a>, Westbrook is not generating much \u2013 if any \u2013 interest from teams, making it increasingly likely that he will begin the 2026-27 season without a contract.<\/p>\n After representing seven teams over the past nine seasons, the 37-year-old could be approaching the conclusion of a career widely expected to earn him a place in the Basketball Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n Westbrook could begin season without a team <\/p>\n Westbrook entered free agency after spending the 2025-26 season with the Sacramento Kings, his seventh NBA franchise.<\/p>\n Despite his age, the former MVP remained a regular part of Sacramento’s rotation. Westbrook appeared in 64 games, made 58 starts and averaged 15.2 points, 6.7 assists, 5.4 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 28.9 minutes per contest.<\/p>\n He shot 42.7% from the field and 33.8% from three-point range and had six triple-doubles.<\/p>\n Those numbers have not yet produced a significant market, however, and Sidery reports that an opening-night roster spot is no longer guaranteed.<\/p>\n Seven teams in nine seasons <\/p>\n Westbrook spent the first 11 seasons of his career with the Oklahoma City Thunder after being selected with the No. 4 overall pick in the 2008 NBA Draft.<\/p>\n He developed into one of the league’s most explosive guards and helped Oklahoma City reach the 2012 NBA Finals alongside Kevin Durant and James Harden.<\/p>\n His long Thunder tenure ended with a trade to the Houston Rockets in 2019.<\/p>\n Westbrook then spent one season with the Washington Wizards before joining LeBron James and Anthony Davis on the Los Angeles Lakers in 2021.<\/p>\n The Lakers experiment lasted less than two full seasons, with Westbrook eventually being traded to the Utah Jazz and securing a buyout before signing with the LA Clippers.<\/p>\n He later represented the Denver Nuggets during the 2024-25 season before moving to Sacramento.<\/p>\n Credit IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect – Scanpix<\/p>\n Former MVP owns historic resume <\/p>\n Westbrook’s legacy is defined by one of the most statistically productive stretches ever recorded by an NBA guard.<\/p>\n He was named the 2016-17 NBA MVP after averaging 31.6 points, 10.7 rebounds and 10.4 assists, becoming the first player since Oscar Robertson to average a triple-double across an entire season.<\/p>\n Westbrook finished that campaign with a then-record 42 triple-doubles and won his second NBA scoring title.<\/p>\n The veteran is the NBA’s all-time leader with 209 regular-season triple-doubles. He also holds league records for the most triple-doubles in one season and the longest consecutive triple-double streak, recording 11 in a row.<\/p>\n Westbrook is a nine-time All-Star, nine-time All-NBA selection, two-time All-Star Game MVP and three-time assists champion. He was also selected to the NBA’s 75th Anniversary Team and won an Olympic gold medal in 2012.<\/p>\n Westbrook has never won an NBA championship, but his individual achievements and historic triple-double production have already secured his place among the most accomplished guards in league history.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Like what we are doing?
