D’Angelo Russell Probable for Lakers’ Game Against Kings on December 28th with Thumb Injury

D’Angelo Russell, the point guard for the Los Angeles Lakers, is dealing with a sprained left thumb. Despite this injury, he is expected to be available for the upcoming game against the Sacramento Kings on December 28th. Previously, Russell was out due to this thumb issue but his status has now improved to probable.

What It Means

For D’Angelo Russell and the Lakers, having him back is important. He averages 12.5 points per game and provides solid playmaking with 4.7 assists per game. His shooting percentages are also helpful, contributing to the team’s offense.

If Russell plays, he will likely share minutes with Austin Reaves and Gabe Vincent at the guard position. Reaves leads in scoring among guards on the team while Vincent provides depth off the bench. The Lakers will benefit from Russell’s return as they aim to secure a win against the Kings.
