The Sacramento Kings have filled out their roster, signing veteran Russell Westbrook to the team for the season. There had been a lot of uncertainty around Westbrook and if a team would sign him this season after he opted out of his contract with the Denver Nuggets after last season.
It's rare to see a future Hall of Famer willingly take a backup role at the end of his career. That's not the case with Russell Westbrook, who signed with the Sacramento Kings Wednesday for his 18th NBA season.
The Denver Nuggets are just a week away from their regular season motions tipping off, currently staying busy in the midst of their preseason action before the official 82-game slate gets underway.

Sue Bird, a two-time NCAA champ, four-time WNBA champ, and 13-time All-Star, has, by any measure, had one of the greatest careers in women’s basketball history.
Everybody knows how important bench pieces are on a winning team. They may not realize that there is a specific archetype of bench player that every elite team needs.
While Cam Johnson was a great acquisition for the Denver Nuggets, one NBA analyst thinks there is an issue he will face. The Denver Nuggets made a lot of excellent moves in the offseason to improve their roster, but perhaps none better than trading for Cam Johnson.
The Denver Nuggets head into the 2025-26 season with familiar aspirations: a 50-plus win campaign, Nikola Jokić in MVP form, and another deep postseason run.
The Denver Nuggets apparently didn’t get the memo that tonight was supposed to be a night off and instead went full bore against the Chicago Bulls. The game more or less played out like a regular season blow out would with the starters taking the fourth off while the bench and then deep bench attempted to hold on to the massive lead.
Since winning the NBA championship in 2023, the Denver Nuggets have struggled. They’ve been eliminated in the semi-finals of the Western Conference for two years in a row, which is something they’ll look to change in the 2025/26 season.

The Denver Nuggets head into the 2025-26 season with similar expectations as they've seen for the past three seasons of 50-plus wins: they're one of the better teams amongst the Western Conference, a top-tier contender, and have a superstar talent in Nikola Jokic that keeps them in play for a deep postseason run on any given season.
Denver Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic is widely regarded as one of the best players in the NBA. Even before winning the NBA title in 2023, Jokic was generating a lot of buzz for his talent and skill.
Since struggling in their preseason opener, the Denver Nuggets have looked much more comfortable in the two games since then, picking up two consecutive wins.
As the preseason unfolds, many NBA analysts scramble to extract relevant information for their season projections. It’s a flawed approach given that these exhibitions are more meaningful for the franchises’ marketing departments than actual athletic preparation.
