Russell Westbrook has moved into sole possession of second place on the Wizards’ all-time triple-double list, moving past John Wall and Wes Unseld (seven, each) with his eighth of the season.

Darrell Walker (15) is the only one left on the list to pass.

Westbrook tallied his eighth of the season Saturday night against the Trail Blazers, passing John Wall and Wes Unseld for second all-time in the franchise's history books. Wall and Unseld both had seven in their time in Washington.

Now, Westbrook can set his sights on the all-time franchise record of 15 held by Darrell Walker. Considering he has eight in 20 games, it shouldn't take him much more time to get there.

Tune in to NBC Sports Washington at 9 p.m. Monday for full coverage of the Wizards' next game against the Los Angeles Lakers.
