Halftime: Lakers 59, Warriors 56
Malik Beasley has 14 points. Anthony Davis has 10 points, 9 rebounds and 2 blocks. LeBron has 5 points (2-9 FGs). D’Angelo Russell sprained his right ankle and won’t return. That’s a considerable blow for a group looking to establish continuity. – 11:10 PM

D’Angelo Russell with a little scare. He stepped on Donte DiVincenzo’s foot from behind and fell. But Russell got up a few moments later. – 10:23 PM

More on this storyline
The Lakers ruled him out, and Dennis Schroder started the second half. X-rays were negative and Russell will be reevaluated in the morning. Russell said his ankle was a little sore but he was hopeful after some treatment that he’d feel better in the morning. “Wrong place,” he said, “wrong time.” -via Los Angeles Times / February 24, 2023
The injury occurred when Russell stepped backward to inbound the ball under the basket and unknowingly stepped on the foot of Warriors guard Donte DiVincenzo, who was standing out of bounds. “Wrong place, wrong time definitely,” Russell said afterward. “Pretty unlucky for me.” Russell had two points on 1-for-3 shooting, four rebounds and three assists in nine minutes. He subbed out with 3:12 remaining in the first quarter, went to the locker room for treatment and did not return to game action. -via ESPN / February 24, 2023
