@realapp: “Russell Westbrook +7 in 1 minute???”
@TheWestWolfPod: “Russ is still so damn fast and quick Bruh!”
@adsportzz: “The fact that Schroeder gets 30+ minutes and Westbrook gets nothing is wild. Literally won playoff games for the nuggets last year.”
@DefnotJRsmith: “Westbrook on the kings will last 2 months”
@BrendenNunesNBA: “Russell Westbrook was the one guarding 7ft Lauri Markannen to close out the quarter. Would be nice to have better options available, but his compete and physicality allow him to guard up.”
@ItsMyQ: “Now watch NBA Twitter blame Russell Westbrook instead of celebrating how great he’s played tonight. 2nd most assists on the team while playing 15 less minutes than Shroder (3ast) & Derozan (6ast)”
@alexvstheworId: “russell westbrook is playing basketball on my tv right now ❤️❤️”

Westbrook signed with the Kings right before the start of the 2025-26 season.
The 2017 MVP has also played for the Oklahoma City Thunder, Houston Rockets, Washington Wizards, Los Angeles Lakers, LA Clippers and Denver Nuggets.
Following the Jazz, the Kings will play their next game on Sunday night when they host Luka Doncic and the Lakers.
