Dallas Mavericks guard D'Angelo Russell (illness) won't be available for Tuesday's clash against the Boston Celtics. The veteran is dealing with an illness and has been ruled out after carrying a doubtful tag on the initial injury report. Russell's absence won't affect the Mavericks, as head coach Jason Kidd has used him in only one game since the turn of the year. He appears to have no future in Dallas, despite a reasonably good start to the season. Russell has averaged 10.2 points and 4.0 assists per game with the Mavericks.

Dallas Mavericks guard D'Angelo Russell (illness) is out for Thursday's game, continuing a stretch of inconsistent availability. His role has also varied when active, keeping Dallas' point guard rotation unsettled. Brandon Williams again benefited last game, logging 30 minutes with 22 points, three rebounds, four assists, and one steal, positioning him as a short-term streaming option. Rookie Ryan Nembhard drew the start but played 17 minutes, while Max Christie and Naji Marshall should continue to see steady run.

Dallas Mavericks point guard D'Angelo Russell (illness) is listed as questionable for Thursday's matchup against the Detroit Pistons. Russell has missed the previous two matchups as he continues to deal with an illness. In his first season with the Mavericks, Russell has averaged career lows in points per game (11.2), rebounds per game (2.6), and minutes per game (20:17). Despite spending the majority of his career as a starter, he has come off the bench in all but three games this season. Russell's availability will become much clearer as we approach tomorrow night, but his fantasy value is too low to consider in starting lineups with a crowded slate upcoming. If Russell is out, look for undrafted free agent Ryan Nembhard and Brandon Williams (who's also questionable with an Achilles injury) to handle his workload.

Dallas Mavericks guard D'Angelo Russell (illness) will miss a second straight game Monday at Utah, an injury/status update that keeps Dallas thin at point guard. Ryan Nembhard is the preferred stream for assists and efficiency, logging 12.8 points and 7.8 assists in 27.4 minutes over his last five with 62.8 percent shooting. Brandon Williams is a deeper-league fallback at 9.4 points and 4.6 assists in 20.1 minutes, while Cooper Flagg can absorb extra creation if Anthony Davis (calf) sits.

Dallas Mavericks guard D'Angelo Russell (illness) is out for Friday's matchup with the New Orleans Pelicans, marking his first absence of the season. Russell has delivered 12.6 points, 5.0 assists, and 2.9 rebounds in 22 minutes, but his usage has fluctuated, and Dallas now shifts to a deeper guard rotation. Brandon Williams should take on primary ball-handling duties, while Max Christie is positioned for a steadier workload after logging seven rebounds and 15 points in his last outing. Jaden Hardy becomes a viable deep-league streamer for scoring after producing 17 points in his recent matchup against Minnesota.

Dallas Mavericks guard D'Angelo Russell (illness) appeared on the injury report ahead of Friday's NBA Cup game because he's dealing with some sort of illness. He's currently tagged as questionable, and the assumption is that the team will monitor him until warmups. Over the last few games, Russell has averaged 23.0 minutes per contest while coming off the bench. If he's unable to suit up, Jaden Hardy would be the next one from the bench to receive some minutes, while Brandon Williams probably sees more minutes in the starting five. Williams would be the best streaming option, if available, with averages of 13.7 points, 4.8 assists, 3.8 rebounds, and 1.5 steals per game across the last six games (all starts).

Dallas Mavericks guard D'Angelo Russell (knee) has shaken off a questionable tag and will play in Saturday's special matchup against the Detroit Pistons in Mexico City. Russell hurt his left knee on Wednesday night against the Indiana Pacers, but he will remain in the lineup for Saturday's action. In Dallas, Russell has filled a bench role, averaging 10.8 points and 5.4 assists in 20.6 minutes. Detroit allows the third-fewest bench points in the league, so this could be a challenging game for the veteran guard.

The Dallas Mavericks have reportedly agreed on a deal with free-agent point guard D'Angelo Russell on Monday. According to Shams Charania, Russell is signing a two-year, $13 million deal with Dallas. The 29-year-old has bounced around quite a bit since being drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers in 2015. Last season, Russell split time between the Lakers and Brooklyn Nets. He averaged 12.6 points and 5.1 assists across 58 games last season. Russell figures to play a fairly significant role in the rotation while Kyrie Irving (knee) recovers. It's unlikely that Irving gets back in the mix until around mid-season, so Russell is likely to see big minutes in the first half. He doesn't offer great consistency as a scoring option, but should be able to hold nine-cat value.

Brooklyn Nets point guard D'Angelo Russell (ankle) will not be in action on Thursday against the Atlanta Hawks. Russell is set to miss the game due to right ankle soreness. Thursday will mark the third-straight game that Russell will miss. His next chance to suit up will be on Friday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Reece Beekman will remain in the starting unit on Thursday due to Russell's absence. This season, Russell has played 28 games with the Nets, averaging 12.7 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 5.4 assists per game.

Brooklyn Nets point guard D'Angelo Russell (ankle) will not play in Tuesday's contest against the New Orleans Pelicans. Ever since he returned to Brooklyn, Russell has been in and out of the lineup due to various health issues, and he is currently nursing a right ankle sprain. Reece Beekman has just logged his first career start and may get another opportunity in Tuesday's game. He was impactful at both ends in Sunday's loss to the Toronto Raptors, posting 14 points, four rebounds, five assists, and three steals.

Brooklyn Nets guard D'Angelo Russell (ankle) won't play on Sunday against the Raptors. The Nets have five games left on the schedule. However, Brooklyn isn't going anywhere near the postseason in any capacity, so it's possible Russell is done for the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign. With Nicolas Claxton (rest) and Cameron Johnson (back) also ruled out, Keon Johnson, Ziaire Williams, and Trendon Watford may be the most reliable fantasy options, although Tyrese Martin and Drew Timme may also get more involved.

Brooklyn Nets guard D'Angelo Russell (ankle) will play on Thursday versus Minnesota. The veteran continues to appear on the injury report because of a sore ankle. Yet, he was able to suit up for Monday's win over the Dallas Mavericks, finishing with 18 points, 11 assists, two steals, and one block. With Cameron Johnson (back) ruled out, Russell should be one of the Nets' top producers on Thursday evening.

Brooklyn Nets guard D'Angelo Russell (ankle) won't play on Saturday against Washington. The veteran had only five points in 18 minutes in Friday's loss to the Clippers. With that in mind, the Nets can't earn a Play-In berth, so Russell along with Nicolas Claxton (rest), who also suit up, and Cameron Johnson could see less work for the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign. As a result, Keon Johnson should handle things at the one, with Reece Beekman also in line for more work.

Brooklyn Nets guard D'Angelo Russell (ankle) has been tagged as questionable for Monday's matchup with the Dallas Mavericks. The Nets have been looking forward to the draft lottery rather than the playoffs, so Russell has been on a trend of playing a few games and getting one off for rest. This could be the first time he's missed consecutive games since February. If he's unable to suit up, Keon Johnson and Tyrese Martin should remain in the starting five. In their last game, Johnson posted 17 points, four rebounds, one assist, and three steals across 33 minutes.

Brooklyn Nets guard D'Angelo Russell (ankle) won't play on Saturday against Indiana. The veteran had 22 points when these clubs met on Thursday, tying Ziaire Williams (hamstring) for the team-high. Unfortunately, neither player will be on the floor for the rematch. With that said, head coach Jordi Fernandez implied that both men are being held out for precautionary reasons, so there's a chance they'll be back for Monday's clash with the Dallas Mavericks. In the meantime, Keon Johnson and Cameron Johnson have the best shot to lead the way on the scoring end. Tyrese Martin is also expected to spend time at the one, which will surely help his fantasy potential.

Brooklyn Nets guard D'Angelo Russell has reportedly told those close to him that he would prefer to stay in Brooklyn after this season, according to the New York Post. Russell hasn't quite been the same player he was in seasons past, averaging just 13.7 points in his 18 games as a Net compared to his 18.0 PPG as a Laker last season. Brooklyn will look to see how well Russell pairs with fellow guard Cam Thomas in the starting lineup before assessing what their needs are. Russell and Thomas have only played together for one game thanks to injury issues for both guards. Fantasy managers in dynasty leagues should keep an eye on Brooklyn's upcoming plans, as both Russell and Thomas would likely benefit with additional usage and playing time in Brooklyn.

Brooklyn Nets guard D'Angelo Russell (ankle) won't suit up on Monday against the Wizards. The 28-year-old injured his ankle during the February 20 matchup with the Cavs and didn't get on the floor for Saturday's two-point win over the 76ers. Killian Hayes got the start at the one. However, Trendon Watford and Keon Johnson also assisted with the ball handling duties, with the duo combining for 27 points. Both Watford and Johnson could remain in line to see a bump in usage, which should continue to enhance their fantasy production.

Brooklyn Nets point guardD'Angelo Russell(ankle) is unavailable for Saturday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Russell sprained his right ankle on Thursday in a loss to the Cavaliers while posting just three points and five assists in 17 minutes of work. His next opportunity to play will be on Monday against the Wizards. Keon JohnsonandKillian Hayes could see more action on the floor during Russell's absence, but their impact on fantasy during Saturday's contest will be limited.

Brooklyn Nets point guard D'Angelo Russell (illness) is good to go for Monday's matchup against the Charlotte Hornets. Due to an illness, Russell was initially regarded as questionable for the game before Brooklyn upgraded his status to available. Russell has blown hot and cold lately, but his overall numbers with the Nets have been solid. Since rejoining the team on Dec. 29, Russel has notched 14.2 points, 6.1 assists, and 1.4 steals in 24.4 minutes.

Brooklyn Nets guard D'Angelo Russell (personal) will play on Saturday against Miami. The 28-year-old wasn't available for Wednesday's loss to the Phoenix Suns. Ben Simmons (illness) also wasn't on the floor for that one, resulting in Keon Johnson getting some work at the point and finishing with 20 points. But with Russell and Simmons back in the mix, Johnson likely won't be as productive. As far as Russell is concerned, he's played well since being acquired by the Nets, averaging 14.6 points, 8.3 assists, and 1.6 steals in seven appearances for Brooklyn. With Cameron Johnson (ankle) still on the shelf, D'Lo may be more productive.
