After an offseason filled with trade rumors surrounding star point guard Russell Westbrook, the Lakers are now “increasingly unlikely” to move him ahead of the February trade deadline, according to a report from Sam Amick of The Athletic.
Westbrook has excelled as the Lakers’ sixth man, providing a spark off the bench and leadership for the team’s second unit. Since becoming the team’s sixth man in late October, Westbrook has averaged 15.2 points, 7.9 assists and 5.8 rebounds per game in 28.2 minutes of action.
