On the heels of NBA All-Star Weekend in Salt Lake City, Russell Westbrook is reportedly finalizing a contract buyout with the Utah Jazz.
Westbrook was part of a multi-team trade that included the Utah Jazz, Los Angeles Lakers and Minnesota Timberwolves in early February.
Mike Conley, Jr., Nickeil Alexander-Walker and draft picks were sent to Minnesota and the Jazz received Russell Westbrook, Juan Toscano-Anderson, Damian Jones and a Lakers"lightly protected" 2027 first-round draft pick in the exchange. On Monday, ESPNs Adrian Wojnarowski reported Westbrook was finalizing plans to sign with the Los Angeles Clippers after finalizing a buyout with the Jazz.
The news came from Westbrook's agent, and sources told ESPN deals were discussed with the Chicago Bulls, Washington Wizards and Miami Heat before landing with the Clippers. When the initial trade was announced, there was much speculation that Westbrook would never actually suit up for the Jazz and instead would be bought out.
