Lakers' D'Angelo Russell: Will not play Saturday

Russell will not play in Saturday's game against the Cavaliers in order to rest, Lakers reporter Mike Trudell reports.

Analysis:

The reports suggests that Russell could be dealing with knee soreness, but one way or another, he will be held out of Saturday's contest to rest with the Lakers playing for the second time in as many nights. It remains to be seen who will start in Russell's place, but it seems likely one of Jordan Clarkson or Marcelo Huertas will get the nod.
