Announcement Details
The Thunder plan to retire Russell Westbrook's No. 0 in a ceremony set for Feb. 7. Westbrook spent the first 11 of his 18 seasons with the team after the organization selected him in the first round in 2008, shortly before the franchise relocated and became the Thunder.
Career With the Thunder
Westbrook formed a strong partnership with another key player that helped establish the young franchise as a consistent contender. Following one major departure after the 2015-16 season, his role expanded. The team traded him ahead of the 2019-20 season.
Legacy and Next Steps
Westbrook continued his career with several other clubs before retiring this offseason. His No. 0 becomes the second jersey the Thunder have retired, joining Nick Collison's No. 4. Team leadership noted his lasting impact both on the court and in the community, ensuring his number remains honored in Oklahoma City.
