The NBA preseason is officially underway.
Teams have a few weeks to figure out their chemistry, hoping to gel as a unit ahead of the regular season.
The Los Angeles Clippers recently beat the Utah Jazz in a preseason game, 103-98.
While their on-court output yielded a win, Russell Westbrook also helped facilitate a special moment for a fan after the game.
The Clippers’ official Twitter page shared a clip of Westbrook signing his game-worn jersey and giving it to a fan who showed up with eight Westbrook jerseys on.

When Westbrook gave this fan his jersey, the fan almost started crying.
This was a grand gesture by Westbrook, and it appears that his generosity went a long way with this fan.
While Westbrook has gained significant favor from Clippers fans, he now will turn his attention to the regular season.
The Clippers finished the 2022-2023 season with a loss to the Phoenix Suns in the first round of the playoffs.
Many expect them to improve upon that this year, especially with the amount of star power they have on their roster.
Westbrook is joined by Kawhi Leonard and Paul George on what is seen as a stacked Clippers team.
Despite the three stars on their team, the Clippers haven’t turned that into meaningful playoff success thus far.
Health has been a primary factor for this team, as Leonard, Westbrook, and George have all fallen to the injury bug.
If all three of these players are healthy, there is no telling what their ceiling could be this year.
