Lakers' Russell to sit out against Thunder and Warriors

D’Angelo Russell will sit out Tuesday night’s game against Oklahoma City because of a sore left knee, and the Lakers point guard will not travel with the team for Wednesday night’s game at Golden State.

Russell, who is averaging 16.1 points, 4.8 assists and 3.4 rebounds a game, also sat out last Friday night’s loss to San Antonio before returning for Sunday night’s game against Chicago, meaning he will miss at least three of four games.

“Obviously, the more time you miss, the more serious it seems to be, but I’m not going to try to guess on that,” Coach Luke Walton said.
