Oklahoma City Thunder general manager Sam Presti embraced former franchise star Russell Westbrook on Monday, November 2, 2026, during the team's Day One Luncheon, where the organization announced that Westbrook's No. 0 jersey will be retired on February 7 at Paycom Center.
The ceremony honored Westbrook's 11-season tenure with the Thunder, during which he earned the 2017 NBA Most Valuable Player award, led the league in scoring twice, and averaged a triple-double for three consecutive seasons. Westbrook played for Oklahoma City from 2008 to 2019 before being traded to the Houston Rockets.
Presti, who has served as the Thunder's general manager since the franchise relocated from Seattle in 2008, shared the announcement alongside Westbrook at the luncheon event. The jersey retirement will make Westbrook the first player in Thunder history to receive the honor since the team's move to Oklahoma City.
The February 7 ceremony will take place during a home game at Paycom Center, though the opponent for that date has not yet been announced.
