After the Los Angeles Lakers traded D'Angelo Russell, he had one of his best games of the season, recording 22 points, eight assists, two total rebounds, two blocks, and one steal. Additionally, recent All-Star voting could indicate a shift in the coming years for Anthony Davis and LeBron James.

The Los Angeles Lakers have traded guard D'Angelo Russell to the Brooklyn Nets for forward Dorian Finney-Smith and guard Shake Milton.

D'Angelo Russell has been one of the more streaky players in the entire NBA since beginning his career nine years ago, a trend which continued over into his second stint with the Lakers beginning at the 2023 trade deadline.
