Wizards interested in signing Russell Westbrook this summer

The Washington Wizards have interest in signing Russell Westbrook this summer, according to Marc Stein.

For Westbrook, it would be a possible return to Washington, where he already played during the 2020-21 season and averaged a triple-double.

Last season, Westbrook appeared in 64 NBA games with Sacramento, averaging 15.2 points, 5.4 rebounds and 6.7 assists in 29.1 minutes per game.

The veteran guard remains an experienced and athletic option, with the Wizards potentially looking at his leadership for a young roster still under construction.
