The Timberwolves will visit the Lakers on March 3, 2023, and that game now appears to be sooner than D’Angelo Russell will be back from injury. But part of that presumption was his arriving in time to help turn the Lakers season around. Russell has played all of four games for the Lakers since that trade, but with his injury, he could be looking at missing anywhere from six games to 15 games.

After the game, Russell described his ankle as "sore."

And Kessler is a lock for First Team All-Rookie. Memphis is a team on the cusp, but they need to clean up these areas. The other concern is their road record — they have lost eight straight away from the FedEx Forum and fell to 11-18 on the road. In front of a raucous crowd the 76ers played one of their best quarters of the season against a quality opponent, went on a 22-8 run, closing the game on a 10-1 run to pick up the win. Late-game offensive struggles are not new to this team and it’s something that could send them home early in the playoffs if not fixed.

The Timberwolves’ rumors that surfaced throughout the season detailed contract negotiations that found themselves on the back burner. The Minnesota Timberwolves were active at the NBA Trade Deadline, as the team needed to get their house in order.

The Lakers will be without their new point guard, D'Angelo Russell, for at least the rest of Thursday's game against the Warriors.

The Lakers head coach had some classy things to say about Russell Westbrook joining his team's cross-town rivals.

Despite his possible absence, the Lakers still have Dennis Schroder to replace him in any game Russell misses. He is still quite eager to prove himself on the team he loves the most since he was a kid. This is a positive report on the injury but doctors still asked for patience and want the player to take his recovery day-by-day. A status that is deemed 'day-to-day' is not encouraging for Lakers fans who wanted to see Russell coming back for the next game. [Lakers ](https://www.marca.com/en/basketball/nba/los-angeles-lakers.html?intcmp=MENUPROD&s_kw=en-nba-los-angeles-lakers)still ended up winning the game with dominance but they really need a player like Russell, especially after Westbrook and Beverley's exits during the trade deadline.

In his fourth game back with the Lakers on Thursday, point guard D'Angelo Russell exited in the first quarter due to a right ankle sprain and didn't return.

Russell stayed in the game until the next whistle and was subbed out with 3:12 remaining in the quarter. Although the Lakers are waiting for more clarity on Russell’s prognosis, they managed to defeat the Warriors without their starting point guard available for the last three quarters on Thursday –they’re now within 1.5 games of Golden State for the No. Los Angeles has won three of four games since the trade deadline and looks like a more serious threat to make the playoffs with its revamped lineup. “Pretty unlucky for me.” However, the veteran guard will undergo further evaluation on Friday to assess the severity of the injury and determine whether he’ll have to miss time. For his part, Russell didn’t sound concerned about a lengthy absence.

D'Angelo Russell was struck by the Lakers injury bug against the Warriors as he exited the game and did not return with a sprained ankle.

Dallas, his next chances to return would be against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday or the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday. But after exiting, Russell went to the locker room and was eventually ruled out. As he was inbounding the ball, Russell stepped on the foot of Donte DiVincenzo, who had just scored on the player before his momentum carried him out-of-bounds. Russell will join the Lakers' on their road trip, per the team. There’s no structural damage, Ham said, and Russell will be day-to-day.
