Lakers head coach JJ Redick has shared an update on star guard D'Angelo Russell after he missed most of the fourth quarter during Monday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The Lakers endured a heartbreaking 117-114 home loss and Russell's absence was felt as the team needed his offensive spark to overcome a double-digit deficit in the final period.
Postgame, coach Redick explained that Russell sustained an injury to his hand or thumb but noted that the exact details of the injury were still unclear.
"JJ Redick said D'Angelo Russell is getting either his hand or thumb looked at right now. Not sure exactly what it is yet," Lakers reporter tweeted after the game.
