Russell Westbrook had a decent debut against the Warriors, a game he ended with 19 points, 11 rebounds and an efficient 7 of 12 from the field. However, in the Lakers’ second game of the season, which reappeared Russ completely inaccurate and unreliablewho seems to feel it pressure of the game in front of a crowd of city angels (He has 41.2% in home games and 47.2% away).
Westbrook was so bad in the loss to the Clippers, that His shooting record was not seen in a Lakers jersey for 57 years. The former Wizards finished with a bang 0 of 11 from the field and 0 of 6 on 3-pointers. And unlike other nights, he didn’t even contribute in other areas, other than some good defenses: 3 rebounds and 4 assists in 27 minutes, along with 2 points.
In the history of the Los Angeles franchise, there was only one three players with the worst nights by release and to find them you have to go back to a completely different era of competition. The most recent? Darrall Imhoff in 1965who shot 0 for 12 from the field against the Royals.
The worst shooting night for a Laker is still the 0 of 13 by Dick Chnittker in a duel against Syracuse in 1957, although on that occasion, the franchise played in Minneapolis.
| Player | Year | Opponent | GF |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dick Znitker | 1957 | Syracuse | 0 out of 13 |
| Daral Imhof | 1965 | Cincinnati | 0 out of 12 |
| Russell Westbrook | 2022 | Clippers | 0 out of 11 |
| Slater Martin | 1956 | Syracuse | 0 out of 11 |
Of course Westbrook wasn’t the only one. guard for the Lakers tight end: Patrick Beverley went 1-7 from the field and another 0-7 for Kendrick Nunn. 1 of 25 from the field between three of the primary ball carriers on the Laker roster. Very.
The truth is, the Lakers stayed Point 0-2 and performances like these will do nothing more than reinforce it rumors of a possible transfer of a Westbrook who are obviously not at all comfortable in the group.
