D’Angelo Russell injury update: January 15 vs. Clippers

NBA DraftKings Fantasy Advice

By: Stan Son

Russell ($5,600) returned to action on Tuesday and played 21 minutes after missing the prior four games due to a shin contusion. He was set to play on Wednesday but was downgraded to questionable a few hours before tipoff. Hamstring tightness was added to the injury designation along with the prior shin contusion.

Russell came off the bench on Tuesday and the status quo would likely remain if he’s able to go. That means that Keon Johnson ($6,000) should get another start regardless. He played 29 minutes on Tuesday.

Stan joined DraftKings in December of 2020. It was a glorious time, except for that whole COVID thing, when we got Madden streams and boisterous bat flips from the KBO. I was brought on board to bring some West Coast flavor. I especially love hoops, and most of my content is in that arena. When I walk along the beach, strumming my guitar, the beat that I hear is not one of crashing waves. No, it is the beat of the ball bouncing off the hardwood with highs provided by the squeaks of the sneakers. Ball is life.
