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\u2019s 7th Anniversary Team makes it easy to understand why Westbrook is one of the most popular players of his generation.<\/p>\n<p>It almost felt as if Eubanks was describing the aura that Westbrook exudes, raising the room\u2019s expectations on and off the court.<\/p>\n<p>The 36-year-old ranks 23rd on the NBA\u2019s All-Time scoring list (five spots ahead of DeMar DeRozan), eighth in total assists, and 73rd in rebounds at just 6\u20194. It helps that he has already played with Dennis Schroder (twice), Malik Monk, Doug McDermott, and was Domantas Sabonis\u2019s veteran when he was drafted to Oklahoma City.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sactownsports.com\/59428\/russell-westbrook-kings-different-energy\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Russell Westbrook brings a \u2018different energy\u2019 to Sacramento\u2019s locker room<\/a><\/p>\n<p>When is the next Sacramento Kings game?<\/p>\n<p>Sacramento will tip off the 2025-26 regular season on Wednesday night when it faces Devin Booker and the Suns in Phoenix.<\/p>\n<p>Be sure to catch all of the Kings vs. Suns action right here on Sactown Sports 1140 AM, with pregame coverage beginning at 2:00 PM PT on\u00a0The Drive Guys\u00a0before a 7:00 pm PT tip-off from downtown Phoenix.<\/p>\n<p>Upcoming Sacramento Kings schedule for the 2025-26 season<\/p>\n<p>Wednesday, October 22nd\u00a0\u2013 @ Phoenix Suns \u2013 7 PM PT (Season Opener)<br \/>\nFriday, October 24th\u00a0\u2013 vs. Utah Jazz \u2013 7 PM PT<br \/>\nSunday, October 26th\u00a0\u2013 vs. Los Angeles Lakers \u2013 6 PM PT<br \/>\nTuesday, October 28th\u00a0\u2013 @ Oklahoma City Thunder \u2013 5 PM PT<br \/>\nWednesday, October 29th\u00a0\u2013 @ Chicago Bulls \u2013 5 PM PT<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Thank you for reading\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/sactownsports.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">SactownSports.com<\/a>.
