Russell, who has been out since Feb. 23 with an ankle injury, rejoins a group that has looked good in recent weeks despite the absence of LeBron James as well.
EL SEGUNDO — It’s now take two for D’Angelo Russell’s second stint with the Lakers after one misstep cost him more time than even he thought it would.
Russell, 27, has always had more of a below-the-rim game, which he says might help him play through what discomfort he has remaining in his ankle. The Lakers have had a rough run of injuries since the trade deadline, the most significant being Russell and LeBron James, who is out for at least two more weeks and possibly longer. The team got more unwelcome news on Thursday when they acknowledged that center Mo Bamba, another one of their deadline acquisitions, will miss the next four weeks with a high left ankle sprain – essentially the remainder of the regular season.
“You can never have enough shooters, 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,” Ham said. “He’s an All-Star, so it’s everything that comes with that. It’ll be good to have that back out there on the floor on our behalf.”
