Previously, according to famous reporter Marc Stein, Westbrook rejected the player option and became a complete free agent! Today Stein talked about Westbrook again in the report, saying that it is believed that Westbrook may return to the Nuggets after the free market is opened.
"Friday morning, I reported Westbrook's decision not to implement its $3.4 million player option next season, and he will be a free agent. The nine-time NBA All-Star has performed well in the Nuggets' first season, and it is believed that the possibility of his return to the Nuggets after the free market is opened, and Westbrook's move does bring some extra roster flexibility to Denver this summer."
Westbrook averaged 13.3 points, 4.9 rebounds and 6.1 assists in the Nuggets this season.
