Is D'Angelo Russell playing tonight against Indiana Pacers? Latest injury update on Net's star (Jan. 6)
D'Angelo Russell is a doubtful starter when the Brooklyn Nets take on the Indiana Pacers at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Monday. The latest Nets acquisition has played three games for the Nets. He finds himself in the team's updated injury report with a shin contusion that lists him as questionable.
He will be a notable absentee if he misses the contest as the rebuilding Nets look to prop up wins. They come off a blowout 123-94 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. Russell exited the game with just five points after suffering a right shin contusion. He recorded four assists, two steals, and one rebound in 14 minutes of action.
With Cam Johnson already ruled out with an ankle sprain, Russell's absence makes it that much tougher against a stern Pacers side coming off two wins on the bounce.
