The Denver Nuggets are showing the most interest in former MVP Russell Westbrook, who recently completed his second season with the Los Angeles Clippers.
League sources indicate that Denver’s interest in Westbrook is the most tangible among NBA teams.
Marc Stein reported on Substack that the Nuggets are keen on acquiring Westbrook, with the Clippers exploring trade options despite Westbrook exercising his $4 million player option for next season.
Nuggets’ three-time MVP Nikola Jokic is reportedly advocating for Denver to bring Westbrook onto the roster.
This past season, Westbrook averaged 11.1 points, 5 rebounds, and 4.5 assists in 22.5 minutes per game off the bench.
Westbrook, 34, remains a significant presence on the court despite reduced playing time and role changes.
