00:01Brace yourselves NBA fans, for a seismic shift in the league's landscape.

00:05Former MVP Russell Westbrook is set to join the Sacramento Kings.

00:09The confirmation of this agreement was provided by Westbrook's agent Jeff Schwartz to ESPN.

00:14However, Schwartz has not yet responded to a request for comments from the Associated Press.

00:19The Kings are scheduled to kick off their season against the Phoenix Suns on October 22.

00:24At 36 years old, Westbrook is embarking on his 18th season in the NBA.

00:42His career averages stand at 21.2 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 8.0 assists.

00:50Westbrook, a nine-time All-Star, began his professional journey with the Oklahoma City Thunder,

00:55where he partnered with Kevin Durant to elevate the team to prominence in the league.

01:31and the Denver Nuggets.

01:33Last season Westbrook recorded an average of 13.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 6.1 assists while playing for Denver.

01:42He continues to be a cherished figure in Oklahoma City, where he was occasionally applauded by fans

01:47during Thunder games in the Western Conference semi-finals last season, despite being a member

01:52of the Nuggets at that time.
