Overview

  • Westbrook recorded his 10,000th career assist on Friday against Minnesota in in-season tournament play.
  • The milestone makes him the second player with at least 25,000 points and 10,000 assists, joining LeBron James.
  • Sacramento started Westbrook in place of Dennis Schroder for the game in which he reached the threshold.
  • Earlier this season, he surpassed Jason Kidd for the most career rebounds by a guard.
  • Now with the Kings after signing in October, Westbrook remains the NBA’s all-time triple-double leader and continues to produce in a veteran role.
