Overview
- Westbrook, who spoke to CNN on Saturday, said he is not worrying about free agency and that he plans to play if a deal materializes.
- Last season with the Sacramento Kings he averaged 15.2 points, 5.4 rebounds and 6.7 assists, showing he can still contribute on the court.
- Reporting shows limited and conditional interest around the league, with Miami linked only if LeBron does not join and Washington described as having a modest level of interest.
- The Kings are reportedly considering adding an experienced guard to mentor their No. 7 pick Darius Acuff Jr., and Jake Fischer listed Westbrook as a candidate for that role.
- Sources say coachability concerns have made some teams wary, which raises the likelihood that any contract for Westbrook would be short term or a minimum deal.
