D’Angelo Russell of the Brooklyn Nets is out due to a right shin contusion. This injury means he will not play for the team as they deal with his absence. The injury news comes after he was previously questionable, but now he is confirmed to be out.
What It Means
The absence of D’Angelo Russell is significant for the Brooklyn Nets. He has been averaging 12.4 points per game and 5 assists per game this season. His shooting percentage stands at 41.9%, and he has been a key player in their lineup.
With Russell out, Ben Simmons might see more time on the court as the point guard. Simmons averages 5.9 points per game, which is lower than Russell’s output. The team will need to adjust their strategy to cover for this loss on both ends of the floor.
