| Won’t play Sunday The Scoop:After a solid all-around preseason debut with the Nuggets, Westbrook will take Sunday off. The All-Star's absence will likely allow coach Mike Malone to get a better look at Trey Alexander and Jalen Pickett. However, when the regular season begins Westbrook is expected to be the second man up behind Jamal Murray at point guard. Oct 6 10:27 ET - | ||||||||

| Solid in preseason debut Westbrook delivered 12 points (3-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and eight assists across 19 minutes off the bench in Friday's 107-103 preseason loss to the Celtics. The Scoop: The shooting line wasn't good, but Westbrook racked up stats left and right while seeing a decent amount of minutes -- compared to the starters -- in the preseason opener. The veteran is expected to open the season as Jamal Murray's primary backup and main second-unit scoring threat, but don't be surprised if he sees decent run with the first unit as well, particularly when closing out games.

| Headed to Denver The Nuggets signed Westbrook to a two-year, $6.8 million contract Friday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports. The Scoop: Westbrook was traded from the Clippers to the Jazz earlier this offseason. The veteran guard was then waived and has now joined the Nuggets after clearing waivers, as expected. In 2023-24, Westbrook averaged 11.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.1 steals in 22.5 minutes across 68 regular-season appearances. In Denver, the 35-year-old point guard will likely earn the backup point guard role to Jamal Murray. Jul 26 6:07 ET |
| Officially waived The Jazz waived Westbrook on Saturday, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports. The Scoop: Westbrook was sent to Utah as part of a sign-and-trade that sent Kris Dunn to the Clippers. The expectation was that the Jazz would buy Westbrook's contract out, opening the door for the veteran point guard to sign with Denver after clearing waivers. Saturday's move will officially put Westbrook on waivers, and he should be expected to sign a contract with the Nuggets next week. Jul 20 11:22 ET |
| Dealt to Utah, to sign with Denver The Clippers are sending Westbrook, a second-round pick and cash to the Jazz in exchange for Kris Dunn in a sign-and-trade Thursday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports. Westbrook is expected to agree to a contract buyout with Utah, where he will ultimately land with Denver after clearing waivers. The Scoop: The 35-year-old guard saw a reduced role in 2023-24, starting in just 11 of his 68 regular-season appearances and averaging 11.1 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.1 steals in 22.2 minutes. With Westbrook seemingly content with a bench role and not demanding a high salary, he could be an ideal backup point guard for a contending team such as the Nuggets. Jul 18 6:42 ET |
