Lakers head coach JJ Redick explained why D'Angelo Russell has seen a more limited role.
The Los Angeles Lakers have dropped four of their last five games to see their record fall to 4-4 in the new year. After a promising 3-0 beginning to the season, Los Angeles has fallen flat on their road trip.
Russell had played semi-poorly to start the season and he saw seen few minutes against the Grizzlies, Against the Detroit Pistons, he played 33 minutes, and against the Toronto Raptors, he saw 32 minutes of game action. Head coach JJ Redick was asked about this after the game and he delivered a clear message about his reasoning.
Russell has had a strange time with the Lakers as he has been in trade rumors consistently. Los Angeles is expected to once again try to move him at the trade deadline this year since he is on an expiring contract.
