D'Angelo Russell was playing well for the Lakers until an injury temporarily derailed his return to the team. He's eager to help the playoff push.
said the team missed Russell’s ability to stretch the floor with outside shooting and his ability to run the offense.
“I mean, just his shooting, man. You can never have enough shooters,” Ham said. “And he’s a high-level thinker, IQ basketball-wise, just his moxie, his ability to control tempo, understand momentum, understand the different strike zones, who has the hot hand. Like all of it. He’s an All-Star, so it’s everything that comes with that. It’ll be good to have that back out there out on the floor in our behalf.
Ham said he and his medical staff would discuss how many minutes Russell would be able to play against the Raptors.will return to his role as a spark plug off the bench. “Dennis will come off,” Ham said. “Again, like I say, I know starting is a big deal to a lot of people, but at the end of the day, finishing lineup is probably a little bit more important and Dennis will definitely be in the mix.”
