Russell Westbrook climbed to seventh on the NBA’s all-time assists list, passing Magic Johnson with his 10,142nd dime and finishing the night on 10,149. He also recorded his 2,000th career steal, becoming only the 14th player in league history to reach that mark. The Kings guard, a former MVP and three-time assists leader, now has realistic chances to leapfrog Mark Jackson and Steve Nash this season, while also chasing Mookie Blaylock and Karl Malone in career steals. The double milestone underlines his long-term playmaking and defensive impact despite changing roles late in his career.

Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton, rehabbing an Achilles tear from Game 7 of the 2025 NBA Finals, will join “NBA on Prime” as a player contributor, sharing behind the scenes content on his recovery and offering analysis across the season, starting with Tuesday’s NBA Nightcap broadcast. Haliburton says he wants to counter overly negative, narrative driven talk shows by joining Dirk Nowitzki, Dwyane Wade, Steve Nash, Udonis Haslem and host Taylor Rooks to highlight modern players positively, explain tactics more clearly for casual fans and add a current locker room perspective to Prime’s studio coverage.
