Russell Westbrook announced his retirement from professional basketball on August 12, ending an 18-season NBA career. The former league MVP made the announcement in a social-media video narrated by Michael B. Jordan. 🏀
Westbrook leaves as the NBA’s career leader in regular-season triple-doubles, with 209. He also holds the single-season record of 42, set during his 2016–17 MVP campaign with the Oklahoma City Thunder. 📊
The 37-year-old played for seven NBA franchises, including 11 seasons with the Thunder, before later stints with Houston, Washington, the Lakers, Clippers, Denver and Sacramento. His final season was with the Kings.
His 2016–17 season remains the central benchmark of his career: he averaged 31.6 points, 10.7 rebounds and 10.4 assists, becoming the first player since Oscar Robertson to average a triple-double over a full season. Westbrook ultimately accomplished that across four seasons.
At retirement, Westbrook also ranked fifth in NBA career assists and 14th in points, according to AS. His record totals in the triple-double category remain in place as the league prepares for the 2026–27 season.
