NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — All signs point to D’Angelo Russell returning to the Brooklyn Nets soon.
The third-year guard, acquired in a trade with the Lakers in June, has been out since injuring his left knee against the Utah Jazz on Nov. 11. He underwent arthroscopic surgery about a week later.
In an interview with WFAN’s “The Afternoon Drive” before the Nets’ game Monday against the Knicks, Brooklyn general manager Sean Marks wouldn’t give a specific timetable for Russell to be game ready but said he believes it could be in the “short-term future.
