The Oklahoma City Thunder will honor Russell Westbrook by retiring his No. 0 and hanging it in the rafters Feb. 7 when they host the reigning champion New York Knicks, the team announced Monday.

Westbrook, who retired in August, spent his first 11 seasons with the Thunder. He recorded the most points, third-most rebounds, and second-most assists in franchise history.

The 37-year-old won the 2016-17 MVP award in Oklahoma City, where he also became a two-time scoring champion and eight-time All-Star.

The Thunder selected Westbrook with the No. 4 pick in the 2008 draft.

Westbrook averaged 20.9 points, 6.9 rebounds, and eight assists across 1,301 career games with the Thunder, Houston Rockets, Washington Wizards, Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers, Denver Nuggets, and Sacramento Kings. He holds the NBA record for most career triple-doubles with 209.
