Dealt to Utah The Clippers are sending Westbrook, a second-round pick and cash to the Jazz in exchange for Kris Dunn in a sign-and-trade, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports. Impact Westbrook is expected to agree on a contract buyout with Utah, where he will ultimately land with Denver after clearing waivers. The 35-year-old guard saw a reduced role in 2023-24, starting in just 11 of his 68 appearances and averaging 11.1 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.1 steals in 22.2 minutes. With Westbrook seemingly content with a bench role and not demanding a high salary, he could be an ideal backup point guard for a contending team such as the Nuggets.
