Prior to the Oklahoma City Thunder’s game against the Minnesota Timberwolves Sunday, Russell Westbrook ran off the court after his pre-game warm up routine and appeared to yell “Thank you Kyrie!” as he was making his way to the locker room.
This came after Cavaliers point guard Kyrie Irving hit the game-winning shot against the Golden State Warrios. While doing so, Irving took down Westbrook’s former teammate Kevin Durant.
Despite what many thought he said, Westbrook denied thanking Irving after his match-up with the T-Wolves.
According to Royce Young of ESPN, Westbrook was thanking Jayme Sharpe, daughter of Thunder trainer Joe Sharpe.
