The veteran point guard finished the season on April 24, 2026, as a key leadership figure for the Kings despite the team&#8217;s overall struggles.<\/p>\n<p>According to Marc Stein of The Stein Line, Westbrook ended the season with a career total of 209 triple-doubles, maintaining his first-place ranking in league history. He also moved into fifth place on the all-time assist list with 10,351 and became the 21st player to surpass 6,000 career free throws.<\/p>\n<p>Across 64 games this season, Westbrook averaged 15.2 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 6.7 assists per game. He improved his shooting efficiency to a 50.3 effective field goal percentage while recording 83 steals, bringing his career total to 2,038 according to sports.yahoo.com.<\/p>\n<p>            &#13;<\/p>\n<p>                            <img src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/F4jnBO8Xs5.jpeg\" alt=\"Dylan Harper Leads Spurs to Playoff Win Over Trail Blazers\" width=\"75\" height=\"75\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"low\"\/><\/p>\n<p>                &#13;<\/p>\n<p>The 18-year veteran also climbed to 14th on the NBA all-time scoring list with 27,176 points. While playing in a modified role, Westbrook provided mentorship to younger players such as rookie center Dylan Cardwell and guard Maxime Raynaud during his first year in Sacramento.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I told him it\u2019s important to stay true to who you are,&#8221; Westbrook said regarding Cardwell&#8217;s development, as reported by sports.yahoo.com. &#8220;I\u2019m loving how he\u2019s impacting the game in a variety of ways. It\u2019s good for our team.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Financial considerations for the 2026-2027 season indicate the Kings may seek to re-sign Westbrook on a veteran minimum deal if the team can stay under the league&#8217;s first salary apron. Westbrook expressed a desire to remain with the organization for a second season.<\/p>\n<p>            &#13;<\/p>\n<p>                            <img src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/pjlMtXLwW0.jpeg\" alt=\"Ron Harper Jr. Commends Boston Celtics Culture Following Contract Move\" width=\"75\" height=\"75\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"low\"\/><\/p>\n<p>                &#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If I\u2019m welcome back, then I\u2019ll be back,&#8221; Westbrook said in a statement reflecting his interest in returning to Sacramento.
