Russell Westbrook Signing With Nuggets After Buyout With Jazz

According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Denver Nuggets are finally getting the backcourt help they’ve been desperately seeking. With the formal sign-and-trade involving the Los Angeles Clippers and Utah Jazz, it will ultimately land Westbrook with Denver.

Los Angeles traded Westbrook, a second-round pick swap, and cash to Utah for Kris Dunn. Dunn is signing a three-year, $17 million deal with the Clippers. This leaves Utah buying out Westbrook’s contract for him to clear waivers.

After the 35-year-old clears waivers, he will be signing with Denver. The Nuggets have been in need of a guard since the departure of both Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Reggie Jackson.

For those interested in fun facts, Westbrook has been traded to Utah twice in his career. The Los Angeles Lakers traded him to the Jazz in 2023, where he signed with the Clippers. Now, fans are seeing Utah help Westbrook with another contract buyout to land with the Nuggets.

The NBA is five days from the trade deadline, and fans saw the first official trade of the countdown period Saturday morning.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Los Angeles Clippers have traded PJ Tucker, Mo Bamba, a future second-round pick, and cash to the Utah Jazz.

The Jazz will give L.A. Drew Eubanks and Patty Mills. Tucker hasn’t played a single minute this season due to both sides’ agreement to look for a new team.

By accepting this deal, Los Angeles brings themselves below the luxury tax. To be exact, about $4 million below the tax. Even better, it allows them to enter the buyout market for another trade.

Keyonte George (Knee) Will Get MRI For Timeline

The Utah Jazz are twelve days out from their season opener against the Memphis Grizzlies, which is good and bad when considering Keyonte George’s latest injury.

According to ESPN’s Tim MacMahon, George will get an MRI done on his left knee Friday to determine the severity and hopefully have a concrete timeline.

During Thursday night’s game against the Dallas Mavericks, the 20-year-old suffered a mild knee sprain. However, Utah is optimistic that he won’t miss significant time and can be ready by October 23rd.

George averaged 13.0 points, 4.4 assists, and 2.8 rebounds during his rookie season.
