The Lakers will continue to have to make do without D’Angelo Russell on Tuesday against the Grizzlies as the guard will miss his sixth straight game due to a sprained right ankle. Russell suffered the injury on Feb. 23 against the Warriors, exited the game near halftime and has not played since.
The Lakers are 3-2 in his absence heading into Tuesday’s game.
AD is playing tonight but D'Angelo Russell has been downgraded to OUT, Lakers say.

Russell is progressing forward in a number of ways and certainly seems close to returning.
