Russell Westbrook will wear a new number with the Denver Nuggets
Nine-time NBA All-Star Russell Westbrook has worn No. 0 for most of his career. Wearing No. 4 with the Washington Wizards, which was his number in high school, Westbrook has been No. 0 everywhere else.
Denver Nuggets guard Christian Braun has worn No. 0 since he entered the NBA in 2022. The Nuggets also had a No. 4 last season, as young forward Hunter Tyson wore that number in his rookie season. When the Nuggets announced Westbrook, the team shared that he would wear No. 4, which meant Tyson would have to choose a new number. It was officially reported on Monday that Tyson would be switching to No. 5 in his second NBA season.that Tyson gave up his number to Westbrook free of charge, as players will often seek compensation for giving up their number to a veteran.
Prior to last season, which was his first full year with the LA Clippers, Westbrook gifted all of his teammates brand new iPhones. “Teammates who came were required to work out and dine together. At one dinner, handed each a new iPhone 15 Pro Max.”While he likely could have sought something from Westbrook in exchange for No. 4, Tyson reportedly gave it up freely for his new teammate.Title: Credentialed writer covering the NBA for Sports Illustrated's FanNation Email: joeylinn52@gmail.
