John Ireland says he’s heard that D’Angelo Russell still feels pain in his lateral movement, and Lakers want him to be pain free before he returns.

    No DLo for another week at least. Calling it.

    Karl Malone’s knee

    Steve Nash’s leg

    Andrew Bynum’s knees

    Kendrick Nunn’s bone bruise

    Chris Mihm’s ankle

    Anthony Davis’ entire body

    LeBron’s groin

    LeBron’s foot

    Shaq’s toe

  4. Probably sits out next game, then there’s a 2 day break which should hopefully get him right for the TOR game.

  5. GokutheAnteater

    Damn that’s unfortunate, hopefully the pain can subside this week. We need him

  6. redditfitzwell

    Lakers and 3-6 weeks, *Name a More Iconic Duo*.

    /s

    as someone who rolls an ankle a lot playing basketball, sometimes an ankle sprain doesn’t heal the same. sometimes i can bounce back in a few days, other times my ankle takes longer to recover. it’s just how it is. as a fan, i don’t ever want to rush a player back bc of my personal preferences. it’s unfortunate, but a part of the game.

  8. YoursTruly_Flounder

    Hopefully he’s back by the Toronto game on Friday

    Got 4 players in the deadline, only half available

    At this point pain ain’t enough to sit out games, we’re in the middle of a playoff run with lebron out, and our championship window closing very soon with lebron being 38 tf is wrong with dlo and this training staff also wanting him to be 100% pain free fk outta here y’all soft as shit Kobe rolling in his grave

  12. KyrieWetUpCurry_

    Sucks but we can keep gaining ground in the play-in without him and LeBron.

    Another Lakers player made out of glass… smh

  15. _mattyjoe

    DLo and his agent want him to be pain free before he returns because they dont want to risk injury in a contract year, and the Lakers are covering for them**

  16. SilverAndBlack909

    Are you injured or hurt ? At this point everyone has to be experiencing some type of pain

  17. Aggressive_Whole6059

    man if we can keep vando, im all for going after kyrie now. Dlo soft af

  18. Ok-ChildHooOd

    That’s fine. But he better come back firing.

  19. MrJayFizz

    I got an ankle injury 2 years ago and I still feel it. Let him rest.

  20. XxNoKnifexX

    Sounds good. Next 2 are winnable with or without him.

  21. Ferrealzzz

    This guy is soft lol. Week to week it is.

  22. Empathetic_Walrus

    This is no slight on D lo because an injury is an injury but there’s no way AD and Lebron havent played through pain this season to some extent

  23. unstoppable_vante242

    Should we sign Kemba Walker now on a 10 day?

  24. Sjohnsa526

    I mean look at the amount of games he’s played every year. Dudes injury prone, we shouldn’t be too surprised

  25. less-ismore

    Honestly this is weird. I know we all have said sprains are 1-2 weeks. But Dlo himself said himself after that game that it wasn’t bad. I don’t understand how he could have hurt it this badly on a fluke play like it was. Only us I swear

  26. torero15

    Some of you fuckers in here are the worst. Calling a player soft is so incredibly lame. Get a grip idiots.

  27. MReprogle

    Good thing he doesn’t play for the Blazers. They would just ice and ibuprofen his ass and throw him out there.

  28. LifeLikeClub9

    Lakers daily. Gtfo here with that trash

  29. foodstamps99

    I’ve never seen such a soft ankle roll cause such a problem
