From 2020 to 2023, D'Angelo Russell was a member of the Minnesota Timberwolves. After being traded to the Los Angeles Lakers in a three-team deal that netted the Wolves Mike Conley and Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Russell has bounced around. He was traded last season to the Brooklyn Nets and then later signed with the Dallas Mavericks in the offseason.
Russell is in the midst of a career-worst season, averaging 11.2 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 4.3 assists on 40.3/28.7/70.7 shooting splits. The Ohio State product started for three games before losing this role to undrafted rookie Ryan Nembhard, who performed wonderfully.
