D’Angelo Russell injury update will be closely monitored before Los Angeles Lakers road trip, starting Tuesday against the Milwaukee Bucks. Russell has been huge for the Lakers, as they are 1-5 without him. They picked up their first win in D’Lo’s absence in their previous outing against the Indiana Pacers at home.
The Lakers scored 150 points in regulation, the most in regulation since 1987. Spencer Dinwiddie became the starting point guard in Russell’s absence, totaling 26 points. The Lakers also got 25-plus points from Anthony Davis, LeBron James and Austin Reaves, which was another milestone of the night.
It’s the first time in three years that a quartet of players on the same team has totaled more than 25 points in a game and the first Lakers quarter since 1971 to achieve this feat.
