After making his on-court debut days ago at Capital One Arena, Wizards guard Russell Westbrook got to work off the court. On Monday, Westbrook conducted his first community event in his new home.
Westbrook surprised students at The Children’s Guild, a Northeast D.C. Charter School, with Jordan Brand shoes, backpacks, branded facemasks and wristbands. In an effort to maintain social distancing, attendees were able to drive through and receive their giveaways.
“It is very important not just to come to a new place but to show that you actually care about a community,” Westbrook said.
