Russell Westbrook sets NBA record for most rebounds by a guard

On the night of Thursday, November 6, the Sacramento Kings defeated the Golden State Warriors in a regular-season NBA matchup — but the game proved historic for one player in particular.

Details: Guard Russell Westbrook grabbed 16 rebounds during the contest, surpassing Jason Kidd on the all-time list. Westbrook now stands at 8,734 career rebounds, overtaking Kidd’s mark of 8,725.

Earlier, it was reported that Mark Walter has been a shareholder of the Los Angeles Lakers since 2021, when he purchased Phil Anschutz’s 26% stake and secured the right of first refusal to acquire a controlling interest in the team. The businessman has now exercised that right, and the NBA has officially approved the $10 billion deal.

Reminder: In the Lakers’ second regular-season game against Minnesota, 26-year-old forward Luka Dončić made his own mark in basketball history.
