Per the ESPN report, Westbrook was in Denver on
Friday to sign the deal, which includes a player option for the
2025-26 season.
Westbrook, 35, was waived last Saturday by the Jazz following a
sign-and-trade deal that sent guard Kris Dunn to the Clippers.
Westbrook joined the Clippers late in the 2022-23 season after
he was traded from the Los Angeles Lakers to the Jazz and then
waived. He returned to a starting role late in the season during
a short 21-game stint with the Clippers, then transitioned to a
bench role last season and finished seventh in Sixth Man of the
Year voting.
Westbrook averaged 11.1 points with 5.0 rebounds and 4.5 assists
for the Clippers last season in 68 games (11 starts).
In 16 NBA seasons, the nine-time All-Star and 2016-17 league MVP
has averaged 21.7 points with 7.1 rebounds and 8.1 assists in
1,162 games (1,039 starts) for the Oklahoma City Thunder
(2008-19), Houston Rockets (2019-20), Washington Wizards
(2020-21), Lakers (2021-23) and Clippers.
