D'Angelo Russell ruled out against Oklahoma City
Dave McMenamin: Darvin Ham says D’Angelo Russell will not play against OKC because of his right hip. “It’s not too serious, but serious enough where we need to manage him,” Ham said. Russell will be day-to-day going forward, Ham said.

The last time Darvin Ham had a trick up his sleeve, the Lakers won seven of their next nine games.
The early returns on his latest trick were encouraging, with Austin Reaves’ scoring and playmaking helping unlock better versions of AD and DLo: theathletic.com/4338965/2023/0… – 2:45 PM

Mike Trudell: Injury update for tonight: D’Angelo Russell is questionable against Oklahoma City due to right hip soreness. -via Twitter @LakersReporter / March 24, 2023
Jovan Buha: I think those feelings are mutual. When the Lakers made that deal, part of it was getting off Russ’ contract and getting out of that situation, but they could’ve potentially had Mike Conley in that deal. They looked at D’Angelo Russell as someone who could be their point guard of the future and potentially that lead ball handler and third-star type of guy that could fit around Anthony Davis and LeBron. From what I’ve been told, the Lakers have very strong interest in re-signing him. I believe it’s mutual on both sides. It’s just going to come down to what type of deal does that look like? -via HoopsHype / March 16, 2023
During halftime of Sunday’s contest against the Knicks, a game in which Russell scored 23 first-half points as part of his team-high 33 on the night, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN discussed D’Lo’s return and his motivation. “D’Angelo Russell very much wanted a second chance in LA with the Lakers and you’ve seen the impact he made coming back against Toronto the other night, playing great in a win, and again tonight. He wants to be the point guard of the future for this organization. He’ll be a free agent this summer.” -via Silverscreenandroll.com / March 13, 2023
