D'Angelo Russell (glute) will not play Thursday night in Toronto.
Russell (glute) will not play in Thursday's game against Toronto.
Analysis:
This is simply a case of the Lakers being cautious after Russell took a hard fall Tuesday night against the Jazz. He'd likely be suiting up if it were a regular season game, but the Lakers don't want to risk anything with their young, prized draft pick. Nick Young will be starting in his place.
