Abstract: We consider static spherically symmetric wormhole configurations in a gravitational theory of a scalar field with a potential $V(phi)$ and nonminimal derivative coupling to the curvature describing by the term $(epsilon{g}_{muu}+kappa{G}_{muu})ph{i}^{,mu}ph{i}^{,u}$ in the action. We show that the flare-out conditions providing the geometry of a wormhole throat could fulfilled both if $epsilon=-1$ (phantom scalar) and $epsilon=+1$ (ordinary scalar). Supposing additionally a traversability, we construct numerical solutions describing traversable wormholes in the model with arbitrary $kappa$, $epsilon=-1$ and $V(phi)=0$ (no potential). The traversability assumes that the wormhole possesses two asymptotically flat regions with corresponding Schwarzschild masses. We find that asymptotical masses of a wormhole with nonminimal derivative coupling could be positive and/or negative depending on $kappa$. In particular, both masses are positive only provided $kappa<kapp{a}_{1}le0$, otherwise one or both wormhole masses are negative. In conclusion, we give qualitative arguments that a wormhole configuration with positive masses could be stable.
