NBA Player-Media personality Kendrick Perkins unveiled That he is no longer on conditions with his former teammate, Russell Westbrook.
The couple, which participated in an NBA championship with the Thunder, fell out after Perkins had given a warning for Westbrook during a television broadcast a few years ago-shunning advice that was extremely told prior to the 2025-26 season.
When Westbrook was sitting on the Lakers, the ESPN analyst insisted on the former MVP to “dampen it” or he could run himself out of the competition, based on conversations he had had with various NBA General Managers.
And with less than a month to go for the opening evening, Westbrook notices without a team to play for.
“This situation, this moment here, that we in – Russell Westbrook who are not in a selection – is what I and the personal relationship of Russell Westbrook hurt,” Perkins Richard Jefferson said during a recent episode of their podcast of their way Trippin.
Westbrook was deeply offended by the warning and the situation escalated to a point where their wives got involved, according to Perkins.
“Then our relationship was over,” said Perkins.
“I do nothing but do my work,” he added. “I don’t kill Russ. I don’t kill him – these are reports.”
Those reports did not lie.
Westbrook refused his player option of $ 3.47 million with the Nuggets after the 2024-25 season and no one has come since then. He on average 21.2 points, eight assists and seven rebounds per game last season.
“But here we were, at the moment, when Russ finished in Denver for his last year … The only team that was interested, by reports, was Sacramento,” Perkins said. “And here we are, starting with the season, and Russell Westbrook is not on a selection.”
Time will learn whether Westbrook is taking the field this season, just as it confirmed that he should probably have listened to his former teammate.
