Begins conversations with Clippers Westbrook, upon receiving permission from the Jazz, has begun speaking with Clippers franchise officials about signing with the team following a potential buyout from Utah, Shams C...
Impact Neither the Jazz nor Westbrook seem to have interest in the veteran suiting up for Utah, so the point guard will be allowed to speak to other teams regarding a potential fit. The Clippers and Westbrook will presumably discuss his potential role, whether that involves starting or coming off the bench, but either opportunity would give the point guard a shot at playing for a title. Westbrook has shown the potential to be productive in somewhat limited action -- 15.9 points, 7.5 assists, 6.2 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 28.7 minutes per game this season -- but it's mostly a help for fantasy managers in points leagues. The veteran's shooting percentages are awful, with splits of 42/30/66, so it's hard to roster him in many category formats. It's unlikely that a move to the Clippers would meaningfully improve Westbrook's production. If anything, it probably represents a downgrade, given how highly the organization views Terance Mann and the wealth of other scoring and playmaking options compared to the Lakers.

Taking time to decide on future Westbrook, who remains out for Saturday's game against the Knicks, met with Jazz management after being acquired from the Lakers on Thursday and is expected to take time prior to t...
Impact Though the Jazz sit at 28-29 and would hold a spot in the Western Conference Play-In Tournament if the season ended Saturday, they were sellers at the trade deadline, moving three rotation players (Mike Conley, Jarred Vanderbilt and Malik Beasley) and taking back no others, with the possible exception of Westbrook. According to Wojnarowski, the Jazz intend to prioritize the development of younger players and have given no assurances to Westbrook regarding what his role or minutes count may look like if he chooses to stick around, though Utah is currently lacking an obvious backup option at point guard behind Collin Sexton, who has stepped into the starting five in place of Conley. The backup job could thus be Westbrook's for the taking, but only if the 34-year-old is willing to forgo a buyout. While the Bulls, Clippers and Heat have been rumored as possible suitors if the Jazz do buy him out, Westbrook may have to give up a considerable portion of the money remaining on his $47.06 million salary for 2022-23 if he wants to become a free agent. Expect a resolution on Westbrook's future to come within the next week or two.

No debut coming Saturday Westbrook isn't with the Jazz for Saturday's game in New York, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Impact Westbrook will skip his second straight game since the Jazz acquired him from the Lakers on Wednesday, and it's highly likely Utah will buy him out in the near future. It's best to consider him doubtful to take the floor while he remains in the current organization, but more information should surface if anything changes.
