D’Angelo Russell is stepping up when the Nets need him most

Caris LeVert knew he was going to be out for an extended period of time after his ugly crash in Minnesota. Grateful that it wasn’t worse than it looked, LeVert texted his teammate, friend and running mate in the backcourt, D’Angelo Russell.

He told him, “We have everything we need, even with me going down. We just need everything from everybody.”

And after last night’s game, DLo revealed how he responded. “I told him he was blessed. Still blessed. I told him we’re praying for him, we’re going to keep praying for him.
