LOS ANGELES -- Lakers point guard D'Angelo Russell will not play against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday night because of a sore right hip, coach Darvin Ham said.
"He was evaluated today, has a little something going on with his hip, so it's best that we hold him out tonight," Ham said.
Ham said Russell aggravated his hip against the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday amid a brilliant performance in which he scored 26 points on 9-for-13 shooting with six assists in 34 minutes. Ham said Russell will be day-to-day moving forward.
