2017 NBA MVP Russell Westbrook is now with the Denver Nuggets.
The Denver Nuggets signed Russell Westbrook in free agency earlier this offseason after he was bought out by the Utah Jazz. Westbrook was traded to Utah from the LA Clippers where he spent the last two seasons.
A nine-time All-Star and 2017 NBA MVP, Westbrook is one of the league’s most individually accomplished active players. In pursuit of his first championship, Westbrook has an opportunity to contend for one in Denver. Westbrook’s addition to the Nuggets roster gives them another former MVP alongside three-time MVP Nikola Jokic. Among other things, Westbrook should be able to reduce Jokic’s workload on the offensive end throughout the season.“Of course we didn’t have a great relationship on the court ,” Jokic joked. “We were fighting a lot and talking back and forth. But I know who he is outside of the court.
