Rockets guard Russell Westbrook announced on Wednesday that he would work with film producer Thomas Tull and his company Tulco to donate 4.2 million masks and other personal protective equipment to medical workers in African American communities hard hit by the coronavirus crisis.

Westbrook and Tull will launch Operation42 in honor of baseball great Jackie Robinson who made his Major League debut on April 15, 1947. Tull produced the movie ‘42’ about Robinson’s rookie season breaking baseball’s color barrier.

Tulco will work with Figs, a manufacturer of medical scrubs, masks and other protective equipment, to help supply hospitals in need of additional PPEs.
