Tuesday was a day chock full of good news for the Lakers and it rounded out in the same style. After picking up another big victory over the Grizzlies on a night when they retired Pau Gasol’s jersey, head coach Darvin Ham revealed postgame that the team is aiming for Friday to have guard D’Angelo Russell return from his sprained ankle.
Russell has missed the last six games for the Lakers.
Ham said the Lakers are targeting Friday for D'Lo's return, but will go through some reps with a "play group" tomorrow before he is fully cleared to return
