Russell Westbrook’s latest technical foul will cost him.
Westbrook has been suspended one game for incurring his 16th technical foul of the season. He will serve the suspension on Monday according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania.
Westbrook was called for a tech during the second quarter of the Thunder’s loss to the Golden State Warriors on Saturday. He declined to answer all questions related to the tech.
The suspension will oddly help save the Thunder money.
If you care about Clay Bennett's money, upside to Russell Westbrook's pending one game suspension: It'll cost him $245,891 in salary, and the Thunder will save $522,518 toward the luxury tax. So, $768,409 total in savings.
