D’Angelo Russell challenged a dunk attempt by the Jazz’s Rudy Gobert early in the Lakers’ second preseason game and hasn’t played since. Marcelo Huertas strained his hamstring before the Lakers even played a preseason game and has yet to see any game action. The good news is that both are nearing returns to the floor. The bad news is that it may not be in Sunday’s contest against Maccabi Haifa.
From Mike Trudell at Lakers.com:
Will the Lakers get a point guard back for Sunday’s contest against Israeli power Maccabi Haifa? “We’ll see,” said coach Byron Scott.
