Russell Westbrook draws overseas interest from Panathinaikos and Hapoel Tel Aviv

Russell Westbrook, a two-time MVP and former Sacramento Kings guard, is reportedly attracting interest from international clubs. As the Kings deepen their backcourt with new signings like Darius Acuff Jr. and Zach LaVine, Westbrook finds himself as a free agent. Reports suggest he may consider finishing his career overseas, with Greece's Panathinaikos and Israel's Hapoel Tel Aviv showing interest. While the move would be unexpected for a player of his stature, he has performed well and remained impactful in his previous season with the Kings, averaging 15.2 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 6.7 assists per game. The decision could be influenced by Sacramento's salary cap situation, posing challenges for a return to the NBA.
