D'Angelo Russell's Final Injury Status For Lakers-Jazz Game

D'Angelo Russell has been ruled out for Tuesday's game.

On Tuesday evening, the Los Angeles Lakers will be in Salt Lake City to face off with the Utah Jazz.  

For the game, they will remain without their star point guard, as D'Angelo Russell has been ruled out due to a foot injury.   

Via ESPN's Dave McMenamin: "Darvin Ham says D’Angelo Russell will be held out for precautionary reasons with his sore left foot. Ham says Russell has dealt with the foot for more than a year and it was “bad timing” with the discomfort flaring up. Ham said the team would determine Russell’s status moving forward - as well as AD and LeBron’s - after the Jazz game for the second night of the back-to-back coming tomorrow against the Clippers."
