NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — D’Angelo Russell stood high above Times Square, a spot where stars are showcased in New York.
He was front and center on a billboard celebrating the Nets’ midseason success, pictured with three teammates who joined him in Charlotte for the NBA’s All-Star festivities.
“Brooklyn is having an All-Star weekend,” it read.
Russell hopes it will turn into a playoff season.
Brooklyn heads into the stretch run in good position for the first postseason berth of his career, sitting in sixth place in the Eastern Conference when play resumes Thursday.
