Oklahoma City Thunder general manager Sam Presti announced on Monday that the franchise will retire Russell Westbrook's No. 0 jersey on Feb. 7 at Paycom Center. The announcement came during the team's Day One Luncheon on Nov. 2, 2026, where Presti embraced the former MVP and longtime Thunder star.
Westbrook spent 11 seasons with Oklahoma City after being drafted fourth overall in 2008, earning the 2017 NBA Most Valuable Player award and leading the league in scoring twice. He ranks as the franchise's all-time leader in points, assists, and steals.
The ceremony will make Westbrook the first player to have his number retired by the Thunder since the franchise relocated from Seattle in 2008.
