Before the start of the 2024-25 NBA season, Westbrook had stated that he had joined the ‘perfect’ team that suited his style of play. His teammate, Nikola Jokic also praised Westbrook. This was after he got signed by the Nuggets. Given that, all eyes will now be on Westbrook to deliver a top-notch performance for the Nuggets in their upcoming matchup.
