Westbrook and his wife, Nina, announced about two months ago that they were expecting twin girls. They have an 18-month-old son named Noah.
Russell and Nina Westbrook, who both played college basketball at UCLA, were married in 2015.
Westbrook has been sidelined with sprained left ankle suffered Monday in a win over the New Orleans Pelicans. It remains unclear if Westbrook will rejoin the team in time for Monday’s game against the Kings in Sacramento.
