Lakers’ D’Angelo Russell to miss 2-3 weeks with knee injury

The nostalgia kicked in when Walton received a warm ovation during lineup introductions to commemorate his two previous years as an assistant. He will be keen to prove that was a flash in the pan moment for him, which everyone knows, but Curry will want to score multiple shots from beyond the arc to help his team emerge victorious.

The Golden State Warriors (12-2) are having a fantastic season right now, winning eight consecutive games following a victory over the Indiana Pacers 120-83.

Damian Lillard went off to almost record a triple-double with 40 points, seven boards and 11 assists, but he was denied by an actual LeBron James triple-double of 31 points, 10 rebounds and 13 assists, with three steals to boot.

The Lakers announced the 20-year-old Russell will be out a minimum of two weeks and will be re-evaluated in one week.

This is going to be a weird week, as the Warriors and Lakers will play Wednesday and Friday sandwich games around Thanksgiving for some reason.

Then there marks the understandable disclaimers the Lakers (8-8) faced.

D’Angelo Russell has missed two games with a knee injury, and appears to be a game time decision against OKC.

Lakers starting forward Julius Randle also missed Wednesday’s game, with a hip pointer.

Prior to the injury, Russell had been averaging 16.1 points, 4.8 assists, and 3.4 rebounds in 13 starts during the 2016-17 season.

It goes without saying. While the Lakers hope it’s not an issue that leads to an extended absence, it sounds like they are going to play it safe with their point guard. The team is averaging 120 points per game during the winning streak, and that should send fear throughout the National Basketball Association. Louis Williams and Jordan Clarkson are proving to be quite the weapon for the Los Angeles Lakers.

LOS ANGELES-The Los Angeles Lakers snapped a two game losing streak, defeating the Oklahoma City Thunder 109-111 on Tuesday, Nov. 22.

Golden State had 46 assists on November 7, 1981, against Denver.

The Lakers jumped to a 13-point lead in the first quarter, hitting five 3-pointers while the Thunder went 0 for 7.

Golden State took care of the ball, too, committing just 10 turnovers. Ian Clark contributed ten points and six assists off the bench.

The Lakers faced plenty of situations on Wednesday that hardly made Walton express as much concern beforehand about a four-game trip next week in New Orleans, Chicago, Toronto and Memphis.

Westbrook put on a show in the fourth, he kept the Thunder alive by scoring three after three and just showing why Michael Jordan said ” He reminds me of myself”, he showed the will of a victor and a skill of clutch player in the last 2 minutes of the game.

The impressive offensive run has propelled Golden State into the league lead in scoring (117.1) and assists (30.9) per game.
