D'Angelo Russell (calf, knee) cleared to return for Lakers
Los Angeles Lakers point guard D'Angelo Russell (calf, knee) went through a full practice on Monday, and he's been cleared to play for Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets.
What It Means:
Russell is expected to return from a three-game absence on Tuesday, but his status likely won't be determined until following the morning shootaround. Expect Jose Calderon to return to the bench while Lou Williams won't see as much work on offense.
numberFire's models currently have Russell projected for 14.8 points, 4.8 assists, 3.8 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 1.5 3-pointers in 27.7 minutes against Denver on Tuesday night. His -2.8 nERD is tied for 422nd in the NBA while ranking fourth-worst on the Lakers this season.
