Fri Dec 20 05:20:00 UTC 2024: ## Westbrook Makes NBA History, Nuggets Defeat Kings
**SACRAMENTO, CA** – Russell Westbrook etched his name further into NBA history on Monday night, surpassing Jason Kidd for the most rebounds all-time by a point guard during the Denver Nuggets’ victory over the Sacramento Kings at Golden 1 Arena.
Westbrook, making his first start alongside Jamal Murray, grabbed his 7th rebound of the game to reach 8,405 career rebounds as a point guard. This accomplishment comes after coach Michael Malone opted to start Westbrook in place of the injured Christian Braun, who was ruled out with a low back strain.
The milestone adds another impressive chapter to Westbrook’s already Hall of Fame-caliber career, which includes nine All-Star selections and numerous triple-double seasons. He previously averaged at least 10 rebounds per game in four separate seasons.
The Nuggets, coming off a win against the LA Clippers, continued their strong play, defeating the Kings despite Braun’s absence. The win marked the Nuggets’ 4-1 record in games played without Murray this season. Further details regarding the game’s score and other key contributors were not provided in the source material.
