The Los Angeles Lakers may have snapped their losing streak in a win over the Indiana Pacers, but things are looking murky once again as they tip-off a three-game road trip in Dallas against the Mavericks. D’Angelo Russell is expected to miss one-to-two weeks with various right leg injuries (calf strain, MCL sprain, bone bruise), once again stripping the Lakers of their starting point guard for a stretch.
With Larry Nance, Jr. preparing to make his return it’s a brutal turn for the Lakers, and while Russell hadn’t been playing well individually, there’s nothing good about not having the No.
