Westbrook spotted alone

A fan spotted Russell Westbrook walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of October 15, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Russell back on the market?

A rep for Russell Westbrook was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the basketball player was splitting hit the internet Friday (October 16), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Russell’s phone number?”
