Retired Russell Westbrook hopes to carry the torch at 2028 Los Angeles Olympics

Westbrook has retired from the NBA and hopes to carry the Olympic torch when the Games come to Los Angeles in 2028.

He said he wants to give more time to helping people in his hometown.

His foundation works on community efforts, and city officials praised his support for local schools and facilities.

Carrying the torch is a goal he is working toward, not a role he has been confirmed for.
