  • Lakers' D'Angelo Russell: Ruled out Sunday

    Russell (hip) won't play Sunday against the Bulls, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

    Russell is set to miss a second straight game, meaning more minutes should be available for Dennis Schroder and Austin Reaves. Russell will have a few days to rest before potentially returning Wednesday against the Bulls.

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

    Russell is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bulls, Harrison Faigen of SBNation.com reports.

    Russell missed Friday's game against the Thunder, but head coach Darvin Ham has stated the injury isn't serious, so the questionable designation shouldn't be surprising. Dennis Schroder and Austin Reaves would be in line for bigger roles if Russell can't face Chicago.

  • Lakers' D'Angelo Russell: Sitting out Friday

    Russell (hip) won't play Friday against the Thunder, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

    Lakers head coach Darvin Ham said that the injury isn't serious and that Russell will be considered day-to-day going forward. Russell's next chance to play will come Sunday against the Bulls. With Russell sidelined Friday, Dennis Schroder and Austin Reaves will likely see heightened minutes and usage out of the backcourt.

  • Lakers' D'Angelo Russell: Questionable with hip soreness

    Russell is considered questionable for Friday's game versus the Thunder due to right hip soreness, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

    Russell wasn't listed on the initial injury report for Friday's game, but it appears he's picked up a sore hip over the last 24 hours, leaving his status in question. The team should supply an official designation for him prior to the 10:30 p.m. ET opening tip, with Dennis Schroder presumably replacing Russell in the starting five if he can't go.

  • Lakers' D'Angelo Russell: Efficient from field in win

    Russell ended with 26 points (9-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-7 FT), six assists, two blocks, one rebound and one steal across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 122-111 win over Phoenix.

    Russell finished one point behind Anthony Davis for team-high scoring honors Wednesday, pouring in 26 points on just 13 shots. The point guard hasn't been known for shooting efficiency throughout his career, but he's turned a corner this season, making a very respectable 46.6 percent of his shots. That ranks as the best rate of his career, as does his 39.1 percent mark from three-point range.

  • Lakers' D'Angelo Russell: Double-doubles but shoots poorly

    Russell logged 11 points (5-17 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, 11 assists and one steal over 36 minutes during Friday's 111-110 loss to Dallas.

    Russell led the Lakers in assists and didn't commit any turnovers, but he had a hard time getting his shot to go down. He made only five of 17 field-goal attempts for the second straight game, and he could not knock down any of his attempts from beyond the arc Friday. After going 23-for-36 (63.9 percent) from the field and averaging 30.5 points in his first two contests back from a six-game absence due to an ankle injury, Russell has averaged 15.3 points and shot 30.6 percent from the field in his subsequent three appearances.

  • Lakers' D'Angelo Russell: Struggles from field in win

    Russell finished with 17 points (5-15 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals over 33 minutes during Tuesday's 123-108 win over New Orleans.

    Russell posted a decent stat line and stuffed the stat sheet, but the fact that he needed 15 shots to score 17 points can't be overlooked. The point guard has struggled with injuries since joining Los Angeles, but he's been productive when available and has scored at least 15 points in all but one of his seven outings following the trade. He's averaging 18.9 points, 5.7 assists and 4.1 rebounds per game since changing teams.

  • Lakers' D'Angelo Russell: Blows up with 33 points

    Russell accumulated 33 points (13-19 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight assists, five rebounds and one block across 35 minutes during Sunday's 112-108 loss to the Knicks.

    Russell drilled six threes on the way to his best scoring total of the season, and his best output since joining the Lakers ahead of the trade deadline. Unfortunately for Russell and the Lakers, he wasn't helped much by the supporting cast, and his big effort alone couldn't help push Los Angeles back to .500 on the season. With LeBron James (foot) likely sidelined until late March and possibly into April, fantasy managers should expect more dynamic outings from Russell as the Lakers look to secure a playoff spot.

  • Lakers' D'Angelo Russell: Shines in return from injury

    Russell (ankle) produced 28 points (10-17 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine assists, five rebounds and one steal across 31 minutes during Friday's 122-112 win over the Raptors.

    Russell sat out each of Los Angeles' previous six games due to a sprained right ankle, but he didn't show any signs of rust or restrictions in his return to the court. The veteran point guard led the Lakers with 28 points and nine assists over 31 minutes, and he shot efficiently with a 5-for-8 mark from deep. Russell was especially effective when it mattered most, scoring 16 points and making all four of his attempts from three-point range in the final period. With LeBron James (foot) still weeks away from a return. Russell will be looked at to help Anthony Davis carry a large portion of the offensive load as the surging Lakers attempt to continue their push up the Western Conference standings.

  • Lakers' D'Angelo Russell: Gets green light

    Russell (ankle) has officially been declared available for Friday's game against the Raptors, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

    Russell has been trending in this direction to the point he drew a probable designation heading into Friday's game. The guard is returning from a six-game absence, thus the team could opt to ease him back into the swing of things.

  • Lakers' D'Angelo Russell: Officially probable Friday

    Russell officially holds a probable designation for Friday's game versus the Raptors, Mike Bresnahan of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

    Coach Darvin Ham indicated earlier in the day Thursday that Russell will make his return to the floor and will start Friday, so the probable designation seems more like a formality than anything else. Barring a setback in the next 24 hours, look for Russell to reclaim his spot as the starting point guard, moving Dennis Schroder back to a reserve role.

  • Lakers' D'Angelo Russell: Set to start against Toronto

    Coach Darvin Ham said Thursday that Russell (ankle) will be available for Friday's game versus the Raptors and will return to the starting lineup, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

    Russell returned to practice Thursday after missing the previous six games with a right ankle sprain. He will replace Dennis Schroder in the starting lineup against Toronto. Russell figures to offer solid fantasy value, especially with LeBron James (foot) out.

  • Lakers' D'Angelo Russell: Eyeing Friday return

    Head coach Darvin Ham said after Tuesday's 112-103 win over the Grizzlies that Russell (ankle) is targeting a return to the lineup Friday versus the Raptors, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

    Russell has missed the last six games due to a right ankle sprain, but if all goes well in practices Wednesday and/or Thursday, he'll likely get the green light to suit up Friday. He had averaged 17.3 points, 5.7 assists and 3.3 rebounds in 30.3 minutes across his first three games with the Lakers before suffering the injury Feb. 23 against the Warriors. If cleared to play Friday, Russell will likely replace either Dennis Schroder or Malik Beasley in the starting five, and he should have ample opportunity to improve his production while LeBron James (foot) is out for the foreseeable future.

  • Lakers' D'Angelo Russell: Ruled out Tuesday

    Russell (ankle) will not play Tuesday against the Grizzlies, according toRyan Ward of LakersNation.com.

    Russell was previously upgraded to a game-time decision and was spotted going through warmups, but he'll miss his sixth straight game Tuesday evening. His next chance to play will be March 10 against the Raptors. Dennis Schroder will hold down the fort at point guard once again Tuesday.

  • Lakers' D'Angelo Russell: Questionable Tuesday

    Russell (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies, Mike Bresnahan of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

    Russell has missed the past five games after suffering an ankle sprain, but it looks like there's a chance he could return to the floor Tuesday evening. If he is able to get back out there, Dennis Schroder would be a candidate to head back to the second unit.

    Russell (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Warriors, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Russell has been dealing with a sprained right ankle, and Sunday will be his fifth straight absence due to the injury. The Lakers will turn to Dennis Schroder to handle a bigger playmaking role, while Austin Reaves, Lonnie Walker and Troy Brown should see expanded roles as well. Russell's next chance to play comes Tuesday against the Grizzlies.
