The revamp With D’Angelo Russell, Jarred Vanderbilt, and Malik Beasley in their starting lineup. The Los Angeles Lakers have so far displayed a lot of promise, winning three of their first four games.
They began their campaign by defeating the Golden State Warriors on the road without LeBron James. And they have since won their previous two home games against the Pelicans and the Warriors.
The point guard D’Angelo Russell’s ankle injury was the only drawback in the Los Angeles Lakers triumph over the Golden State Warriors. As Russell walked back to retrieve the ball from the baseline, he tripped over Warriors guard Donte DiVincenzo, spraining his right ankle and forcing him to leave the game.
D’Angelo Russell received “in-house treatment,” according to Ham, rather than an MRI exam on Friday.
“He’s good, I mean. I’ve noticed him. “He’s in a good mood,” said forward Jarred Vanderbilt. “I’ll leave that to the doctors. I’m not sure how long he’ll be gone or if he’ll be gone at all. But I saw him this morning. He’s cheerful.” Also Read: Pascal Siakam shined as Raptors top Pistons for their fourth straight victory
Is D’Angelo Russell Playing tonight against Dallas Mavericks
D’Angelo Russell had been doing well during that time. But on Thursday against Golden State, he hurt his ankle and was only able to play for nine minutes.
“I doubt he’ll play Sunday,” Lakers coach Darvin Ham said of Russell, who sprained his right ankle during Thursday night’s win over the Golden State Warriors at Crypto.com Arena.
Darvin Johnson, the Lakers head coach, believes the player won’t be able to participate in Sunday’s game against the Dallas Mavericks despite his apparent lack of worry about the ailment.
“He’s still undergoing various treatment procedures,” Ham explained after practice. “There really hasn’t been an official word. It isn’t sprained. Well, I should say it’s sprained. There is no structural damage or anything. It’ll be a day-to-day thing for the most part.”
D’Angelo Russell has averaged 13.5 points, 5.0 assists, and 3.5 rebounds in four games with the Lakers.
He’s shooting 44.2% from the field and 35.3% from three. Also Read: Klay Thompson hits 42 points to lead the Warriors to a 116-101 victory over the Rockets
Is LeBron James Playing tonight against Dallas Mavericks
LeBron James, a four-time NBA MVP, is expected to play for the LA Lakers against the Dallas Mavericks tonight in Texas. After missing the previous three games due to an injured left foot, James has participated in the last two.
The Golden State Warriors crushing 124-111 victories against them last Thursday was the result of just 26 minutes of action from the 19-time NBA All-Star. Malik Beasley and the rest of the support staff had a tremendous night, so they did not expect James to do much.
The four-time NBA champion should be available tonight, barring any complications with his left foot.
