Denver Nuggets guard Russell Westbrook received praise for his defense on Trae Young
After years of being considered well past his prime and nearing retirement, the Denver Nuggets took a chance on nine-time All-Star and 2017 NBA MVP Russell Westbrook in the offseason.
The Nuggets have struggled so far this season, falling to 12-10 despite superstar center Nikola Jokic having one of the best statistical years in NBA history. With desperation to find some help around the three-time MVP, the Nuggets have needed guys like Westbrook to step up, and the experienced point guard has delivered.
Following Sunday's win over the Hawks, Nuggets head coach Michael Malone praised Westbrook for his stellar defense on the Atlanta star.
