Russell Westbrook to deal with major change with Nuggets

Westbrook, a nine-time All-Star, officially signed with the Nuggets on a multiyear deal earlier this week.

We have gotten used to Westbrook wearing his iconic No. 0, which he has sported at nearly every single career stop over the years. He wore it with the Oklahoma City Thunder, Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Lakers L.A. Clippers and even dating all the way back to his college days at UCLA. But Westbrook will be unable to continue that in Denver since the No. 0 already belongs to guard Christian Braun.

Instead, Westbrook is switching to the No. 4, which he wore as a teenager at Leuzinger High School and much later with the Washington Wizards in the 2020-21 season. Westbrook did some good work for the Wizards in that No. 4 jersey and will now try to do the same for the Nuggets next season.
