On the last day of the trade from the Los Angeles Lakers to the Utah Jazz, the 34-year-old player’s path crossed again with the city of Los Angeles.
The basketball player’s manager, Jeff Schwartz, said in a statement to the US press that the negotiations between Westbrook and the Jazz regarding the termination of the contract were positive and Westbrook became a free agent.
Schwartz also emphasized that the player, who was selected as an all-star 9 times, plans to sign with the Los Angeles Clippers, which he is in talks with.
Westbrook, who averaged 15.9 points, 7.5 assists and 6.2 rebounds in 52 games this season, moved to the Jazz this month after 3 teams and 8 player trades, including Los Angeles Lakers, Utah Jazz and Minnesota Timberwolves.
Aiming to make it to the playoffs this season, the Los Angeles Clippers are fourth in the Western Conference with 33 wins.
