Top D'Angelo Russell News

  • Lakers' D'Angelo Russell: Explodes for season-high 28 points

    Russell produced 28 points (9-17 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, 14 assists and one steal over 34 minutes during Sunday's 107-98 win over the Trail Blazers.

    Russell stepped up in the absence of LeBron James (foot) and Austin Reaves (pelvis), setting new top marks on the season in points and assists. He's put together a few strong performances to kick off December while his team works to get healthy, reaching the 20-point threshold in two of four games, but his production has been shaky at times over the last month.

  • Lakers' D'Angelo Russell: Won't start Friday

    Russell isn't in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Hawks, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    The Lakers are shaking things up in the backcourt for this matchup and will slot Gabe Vincent in the first unit, meaning Russell will operate as the go-to offensive weapon off the bench. Russell is averaging 12.1 points, 4.2 assists and 2.8 rebounds per game when coming off the bench this season (11 appearances).

  • Lakers' D'Angelo Russell: Scores 20 points Monday

    Russell racked up 20 points (8-12 FG, 4-5 3Pt), three rebounds, five assists and one steal over 34 minutes during Monday's 109-80 loss to the Timberwolves.

    Russell was highly efficient from the floor and finished as the Lakers' leading scorer in a game where the entire offense sputtered. Don't be surprised if Russell stays in the starting five until Austin Reaves (pelvis) can return. Russell has surpassed the 15-point mark in four appearances in a row, averaging 17.5 points, 4.3 assists and 4.0 rebounds per game while shooting 55.3 percent from the floor in that stretch.

  • Lakers' D'Angelo Russell: Will start Monday

    Russell (illness) is available for Monday's game against the Timberwolves, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

    As expected, Russell has been upgraded from probable to available and will return to action after missing Sunday's win over Utah due to an illness. With Russell and Austin Reaves (pelvis) sidelined Sunday, Gabe Vincent started. However, Russell will slide back into the starting lineup Monday for the first time since Nov. 6. As a starter (eight games), Russell has averaged 12.0 points, 5.6 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 29.9 minutes per game.

  • Lakers' D'Angelo Russell: Probable for Monday

    Russell (illness) is probable for Monday's game against the Timberwolves, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    After missing Sunday's game against the Jazz, Russell appears to be trending in the right direction. Austin Reaves (pelvic contusion) is questionable, so Russell could see increased usage Monday if the Lakers are shorthanded. With Russell expected back, Gabe Vincent and Max Christie could lose some steam after strong showings Sunday.

  • Lakers' D'Angelo Russell: Officially out Sunday

    Russell (illness) is out for Sunday's game against the Jazz, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

    Russell was deemed doubtful ahead of game time due to an illness, so it doesn't come as a surprise that he will not be available Sunday. Gabe Vincent and Max Christie are likely to see increased roles with Russell sidelined.

  • Lakers' D'Angelo Russell: Unlikely to play Sunday

    Russell (illness) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Jazz, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Russell is under the weather, and it appears to be serious enough that he is likely to be sidelined for Sunday's contest. Depending on his recovery, Russell could also be in danger of missing the second leg of the Lakers' back-to-back against the Timberwolves on Monday. Gabe Vincent, Cam Reddish and Max Christie would all be candidates to see increased playing time should Russell be ruled out for Sunday's game.

  • Lakers' D'Angelo Russell: Shooting woes continue Thursday

    Russell provided seven points (3-10 FG, 1-7 3Pt), six assists, one rebound, one block and one steal over 23 minutes during Thursday's 119-118 loss to the Magic.

    Russell tied his second-lowest scoring mark of the season, though he posted five or more assists for the 11th time through 15 regular-season appearances. The 28-year-old point guard has seen a decrease in playing time since shifting to the bench, due in part to the emergence of Dalton Knecht. In his last five outings, Russell has averaged 8.6 points, 5.0 assists, 2.4 rebounds and 1.2 steals while shooting 34.9 percent from the field across 24.0 minutes per game.

  • Lakers' D'Angelo Russell: Cleared to play Wednesday

    Lakers head coach JJ Redick said that Russell (illness) is "good to go" for Wednesday's game against Memphis, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

    Russell will not miss any time after being added to the injury report Tuesday due to the illness. It's unclear if Russell will re-enter the starting lineup, but he has performed strongly off the bench in his last two appearances, averaging 16.5 points in 26.0 minutes while shooting 52 percent from the field and 38.5 percent from three-point range.

  • Lakers' D'Angelo Russell: Expected to play Wednesday

    Russell (illness) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game versus the Grizzlies, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

    Russell missed Tuesday's practice due to an illness but is still expected to suit up against Memphis. Russell is averaging 16.5 points, 2.0 assists and 2.0 rebounds in 26.0 minutes in his two appearances since moving to the bench.

  • Lakers' D'Angelo Russell: Dealing with illness

    Russell didn't practice Tuesday due to an illness, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

    Russell is in danger of missing his first game of the season Wednesday against the Grizzlies. He's operated off the bench over the last two games, giving way to defensive-minded guard Cam Reddish. While Russell has maintained solid scoring numbers as a reserve, his assists have taken a hit. As a starter (eight games), Russell averaged 5.6 assists per night, but he's totaled only four dimes in two contests off the bench.

  • Lakers' D'Angelo Russell: Solid effort from second unit

    Russell finished Friday's 116-106 victory over Philadelphia with 18 points (7-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds and three assists across 25 minutes off the bench.

    The 28-year-old guard found himself in the second unit Friday in favor of Cam Reddish but didn't sulk about it, as Russell drained multiple threes for the fourth straight game and scored in double digits for the seventh straight. It's not clear whether the shift to the bench is a temporary one for Russell, but the Lakers' reserves could use a reliable threat -- only the Knicks' bench brigade has scored fewer points per game to begin the season.

  • Lakers' D'Angelo Russell: Will come off bench

    Russell will play a reserve role in Friday's game versus the 76ers, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

    Head coach JJ Reddick expressed frustration with Russell following a poor shooting display in the Lakers' 131-114 loss to Memphis on Wednesday. It looks like the coach was frustrated enough to move the point guard to a reserve role in favor of Cam Reddish. It remains to be seen if this will be a one-game situation or a permanent adjustment to the starting lineup.

  • Lakers' D'Angelo Russell: Poor shooting display in loss

    Russell amassed 12 points (4-12 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, three assists and two steals in 22 minutes during Wednesday's 131-114 loss to Memphis.

    The Lakers needed Russell to step his game up with Anthony Davis (ankle) sidelined Wednesday. Instead, the floor general delivered another woeful shooting performance and once again had major issues from beyond the arc. The numbers look good on the surface, as Russell has scored in double digits in six games in a row, but the efficiency has been subpar. He's shooting 37.5 percent from the field and 29.2 percent from deep in his eight contests so far.

  • Lakers' D'Angelo Russell: Officially available

    Russell (foot) is available for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

    As expected, Russell has been upgraded from probable to available and will continue to play through a minor right foot contusion. He's scored in double digits in five straight games, averaging 14.0 points, 6.4 assists and 2.8 rebounds in 30.8 minutes during that stretch.
