The Lakers were without D’Angelo Russell in Sunday’s game against the Mavericks — an unsurprising development — but it doesn’t sound like the guard’s absence will be an extended one. Russell entered the day doubtful for the Lakers ahead of their match-up in Dallas and was ruled out rather early.
However, D’Lo did take part in a pregame warm-up, which is certainly out of the norm for a player with an ankle sprain and could indicate that he won’t be out long for the Lakers.
D’Angelo Russell is going through a pregame workout, but Darvin Ham says he seriously doubts Russell will play against the Mavericks.
