The Clippers traded Russell Westbrook to the Utah Jazz last week, which set up a contract buyout for the 35-year-old veteran.
Russell Westbrook's deal to join the Denver Nuggets will be a two-year, veteran minimum contract with a player option for 2025-2026, his agent Jeff Schwartz of Excel Sports told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
Westbrook was traded to Utah from the Clippers
Russell Westbrook was in Denver on Friday to sign a two-year, $6.8 million deal with the Nuggets, a league source confirmed to ESPN.
Westbrook's agreement is now official over a week after he was traded to Utah with the expectation that he would eventually join the Nuggets. Russ will look to help bolster Denver's bench unit after they ranked 25th in bench points per game last season.
