Plus, how will the Kings navigate the start of the season without Keegan Murray (hand) and Domantas Sabonis (hamstring)?

“It was like nine o’clock the other night before we played, I was on the table in the treatment room, and he walks in, and he didn’t even have to say a word,” Drew Eubanks described the energy of new teammate Russell Westbrook. “You could just feel the energy in the treatment room shift.”
Westbrook joined the Sacramento Kings one day prior to Friday’s preseason finale, but did not suit up for that game in Los Angeles.
Yet, his well-documented, intense, and relentless demeanor is already making an impact. The status of being a former MVP, nine-time All-NBA and All-Star player, two-time scoring champion, and a member of the NBA’s 7th Anniversary Team makes it easy to understand why Westbrook is one of the most popular players of his generation.
It almost felt as if Eubanks was describing the aura that Westbrook exudes, raising the room’s expectations on and off the court.
The 36-year-old ranks 23rd on the NBA’s All-Time scoring list (five spots ahead of DeMar DeRozan), eighth in total assists, and 73rd in rebounds at just 6’4. It helps that he has already played with Dennis Schroder (twice), Malik Monk, Doug McDermott, and was Domantas Sabonis’s veteran when he was drafted to Oklahoma City.
