Wolves guard D’Angelo Russell watched nearly a full defensive possession from the scorer’s table before realizing he was supposed to be in the game.
Russell was summoned to sub into the game during the second quarter of Wednesday's matchup versus the Phoenix Suns. After Wolves guard Jaylen Nowell was fouled on a converted layup, Taurean Prince left the floor in favor of Russell.
But the problem was that Russell didn't enter the game before Nowell's lone free throw attempt. Heck, he didn't even enter the game 15 seconds after Nowell made the free throw.Sign up for NBC Chicago newsletters. As the Suns brought the ball up court, Russell stood at the scorer's table awaiting to enter the game with only four Wolves players on defense. The lack of a fifth defender allowed the Suns to easily get Damion Lee a wide-open corner 3.
Lee missed the shot and the rebound was corralled by Suns forward Torrey Craig with Russell still on the sideline. Craig made one pass before quickly getting the ball back and firing up a 3-point shot. As Craig loaded up to shoot, Russell finally realized his team was at a disadvantage, ran onto the floor and watched the ball swish through the net.
This is an all-timer! Russell not realizing he's supposed to be on the court, Suns play a possession 5-on-4, make a 3-pointer.
