LA Clippers guard Russell Westbrook shared a message on Instagram
LA Clippers guard Russell Westbrook released a statement on his Instagram story Saturday night that addressed recent reporting about him, and also included his thoughts on this season after an early playoff exit.
"I am often the topic of conversation by so many 'sources' and sports news outlets. I felt inclined to share my actual thoughts and words following this season," Westbrook began."Understand that anything you read about what I've said or haven't said has likely been fabricated. I've never had any trouble sharing my thoughts or ideas on anything, and I choose to keep my thoughts to myself in most cases.
Westbrook added, “I for one enjoyed my year, and worked hard to bring the energy, and provide a spark for our team with each opportunity I was given. I felt that I was and remain more than willing to take on new roles, and make certain sacrifices in hope that it would make our team better. I hoped for a different outcome, but I also enjoyed being in the trenches with my teammates this year who have all been supportive of me throughout the season.
Westbrook has a player option for next season that he can pick up if he wants to return to the Clippers for one more year, or he could opt out and become a free agent.
