Los Angeles Lakers point guard D’Angelo Russell has missed five games in a row with his current right ankle sprain, but there is reportedly hope he will be able to be back in the lineup soon.
During a Monday morning appearance on FanDuel TV, NBA insider Shams Charania reported that the Lakers are hopeful Russell’s return is imminent:
“D’Angelo Russell is clearly closer than LeBron James, I think they thought he would be back by now... It was a day-to-day injury, it was an ankle sprain, but the hope is that he’s back sooner than later.
