The Washington Wizards have reportedly traded Russell Westbrook to the Los Angeles Lakers.

According to The Athletic's Shams Charania, the Wizards, in return, will receive Kyle Kuzma, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Montrezl Harrell, and the No. 22 draft pick of Thursday's draft.

The Lakers also receive a 2024 second-round pick and 2028 second-round pick, Charania reported.

ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski also confirmed the trade.

During his 13-year NBA career, Westbrook has averaged 23 points, 7 rebounds, and 8 assists.

The nine-time All-Star point guard is set to join LeBron James and Anthony Davis, who won an NBA championship in 2020.
