Despite rumors swirling about Russell Westbrook potentially considering retirement or continuing his basketball career overseas, the legendary point guard ultimately signed with the Sacramento Kings.
The all-time list of NBA All-Stars is obviously long, and notably distinguished. However, there are some players — for various reasons — who the casual, or even most-dedicated, NBA fans can't recall having earned All-Star nods.
Russell Westbrook notched his 204th career triple-double and first as a member of the Sacramento Kings to lead his team to a 121-116 home win against the Golden State Warriors.
The Sacramento Kings lit the beam in a big way on Wednesday night, and they did it behind one of the league’s most decorated stat-sheet legends.

Since trading away De'Aaron Fox at the 2025 NBA trade deadline, the Sacramento Kings have found themselves lacking a star point guard.

The Sacramento Kings haven’t had the strongest start to the 2025-26 season. Although a 135-133 win against the Milwaukee Bucks gives them some reason to feel positive about their future, it is a challenge to overlook the immediate issues.
The Kings are weighing a move for veteran big man Precious Achiuwa, according to NBA insider Jake Fischer. And if a deal gets done, Isaac Jones will likely be the roster casualty, per ClutchPoints’ Brett Siegel.
Maybe the most surprising player among the NBA's current leading scorers, Zach LaVine found familiar territory while leading the Sacramento Kings to a win on Saturday night.
