[Saba Sports News] Russell Westbrook hasn’t had the smoothest start with the Denver Nuggets.
In Saturday’s 109-104 loss to the Clippers, Westbrook had one of his roughest outings, missing all eight shots in just 19 minutes. The former MVP tallied only one rebound, two assists, and two steals, with his two points coming solely from free throws. His airball on a fadeaway attempt set the tone, and fans quickly roasted him with memes on social media.
Despite Nikola Jokic’s 41-point effort, Denver’s bench struggled, with Westbrook, Dario Saric, and Peyton Watson shooting a combined 0/13. So far, Westbrook is 2/18 (11.1%) from the field across his first two games with Denver.
