Droos even dimes in loss Westbrook provided 16 points (6-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, seven assists, one block and four steals over 31 minutes during Tuesday's 114-103 loss to the Suns.

Impact Westbrook continues to plod through the schedule with solid totals during Sacramento's lost season. Injuries have curtailed his output recently, but his 31 minutes of court time were an encouraging sign. It's way too soon to bench Westbrook, but he's almost certain to go elsewhere after his one-year deal expires, and the Kings need to start inspecting value on the bench as they look to rebuild.

Drops team-high 22 in loss Westbrook finished with 22 points (10-19 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and three assists over 25 minutes during Wednesday's 128-97 loss to the Rockets.

Impact The 22 points were a team high in the rout, as only three other Kings even managed to score in double digits. Westbrook has topped 20 points in back-to-back games, but consistent playing time could be tough to come by for the 37-year-old with Sacramento in full tank mode -- through eight games in February he's played more than 30 minutes only twice, averaging 14.5 points, 4.3 assists, 2.5 boards and 1.9 threes in 24.4 minutes a contest.

Impact Westbrook continues to defy Father Time for the Kings. The team won't be playing for much down the stretch with the franchise clearly eyeing a rebuild, so it will be interesting to see how Westbrook's role shapes up in the coming weeks.

Quiet in loss Westbrook produced five points (2-8 FG, 1-6 3Pt), one assist and one steal across 17 minutes during Thursday's 131-94 loss to the Magic.

Impact Westbrook missed the Kings' final game before the All-Star break due to left ankle soreness, and despite reprising his role in the starting lineup, the veteran saw a reduced workload as his team was blown away early. With the Kings not playing for much down the stretch, it will be interesting to see if Westbrook's role is impacted.

Impact Westbrook missed the Kings final game before the All-Star break due to left ankle soreness. The veteran point guard has moved past the injury and will be a full-go for Thursday's contest. With Zach LaVine (hand) and Domantas Sabonis (knee) out for the season, plenty of usage should be available for Westbrook going forward.

Ruled out for Wednesday Westbrook has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Jazz due to left ankle soreness.

Impact The ankle issue is a new concern for Westbrook, whose next opportunity to play will come against the Magic on Feb. 19. The Kings will be extremely shorthanded in their final game before the All-Star break, so Nique Clifford, Devin Carter and Daeqwon Plowden will likely all see a heavy workload.
