Russell Westbrook, now 37 and in his 18th NBA season with the Kings, is not considering retirement despite his age and recent milestones. After a win against the Mavericks, he passed Magic Johnson for seventh place on the all-time assists list and recorded his 2,000th steal. Averaging 14.4 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 7.2 assists this season, Westbrook remains committed to playing at a high level and inspiring others. Kings coach Doug Christie praised Westbrook’s work ethic and influence on younger players.
