The Los Angeles Lakers are set to host the Brooklyn Nets on Friday night, which will mark the return of D’Angelo Russell to Crypto.com Arena after he was traded a few weeks ago.
Even though it didn’t end well, there’s no denying that Russell’s second stint with the Lakers was much more successful than his first.
Regardless, there has to be some sour feelings on his part after being traded to the Nets for a second time. With that being the case, head coach JJ Redick is expecting Russell to try to take it to the Lakers on Friday.
