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.

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.
D'Angelo Russell Could Miss Monday's Game Against Mavericks
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.
D'Angelo Russell Reportedly Wants To Remain In Brooklyn After This Season
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.
