D'Angelo Russell Listed as Questionable for Wednesday's Game Against the Lakers
Timberwolves Guard Dealing with Back Soreness
Russell's Status Uncertain for Upcoming Matchup
The Minnesota Timberwolves have listed guard D'Angelo Russell as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers due to back soreness. Russell missed Monday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers with the same injury.
Russell is averaging 18.1 points and 6.2 assists per game this season. He is a key part of the Timberwolves' offense and his absence would be a significant blow.
The Timberwolves are currently 12-12 this season and are in seventh place in the Western Conference. They are coming off a 112-109 loss to the 76ers on Monday.
The Lakers are 13-11 this season and are in fifth place in the Western Conference. They are coming off a 112-98 win over the Sacramento Kings on Monday.
The Timberwolves and Lakers will tip off at 9:00 PM ET on Wednesday night at the Target Center in Minneapolis.
