D'ANGELO RUSSELL NEWS

Wraps preseason with 17 points Russell recorded 17 points (7-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six assists and a steal over 27 minutes in a loss to Brooklyn on Friday.

Impact Russell led Minnesota in scoring in the contest with an efficient 7-for-13 mark from the field. He also paced the team in assists and finished the exhibition slate with per-game averages of 13.5 points, 5.5 dimes, 2.5 boards, 1.8 three-pointers and 1.8 steals. He shot 47.7 percent from the field over four games, which is significantly higher than 41.1 percent field-goal rate he posted last season.

Dishes eight dimes Wednesday Russell posted 15 points (5-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), eight assists, three rebounds, two steals and a blocked shot over 24 minutes Wednesday in a preseason win over the Lakers.

Impact Minnesota rested both Karl-Anthony Towns and Rudy Gobert for the game but started Russell and Anthony Edwards. Russell was solid in 24 minutes, knocking down three triples and recording a game-high eight assists against the team that drafted him second overall in 2015. The point guard is averaging 12.3 points, 5.3 assists, 3.3 boards, 1.7 three-pointers and 2.0 steals across three preseason contests. His shooting percentage can be a downer, but Russell figures to offer strong contributions as a passer and three-point threat again this season.

Solid in 19 minutes Russell produced 13 points (5-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and a steal across 19 minutes in Thursday's 114-99 preseason win over the Lakers.

Impact Russell made his preseason debut Thursday night. He's expected to be used sparingly during the exhibition period, but he'll need a little bit of assimilation time as the team learns how to best utilize Rudy Gobert.

Will play Thursday Russell (rest) will play in Thursday's preseason contest against the Lakers, Dane Moore of BringMeTheNews.com reports.

Impact Russell didn't play in the Timberwolves' preseason opener, though he didn't have an injury designation. The 25-year-old is set to be the team's starting guard, but he'll likely see a smaller role in Thursday's preseason contest, as the younger players will see more minutes than usual.

Out versus Miami Russell will not play in Tuesday's preseason opener against the Heat, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.

Impact There is no indication that Russell is suffering from any injury and is likely just resting Friday. The 25-year-old is looking to build off his 2021-22 season in which he averaged 18.1 points, 7.1 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 32.0 minutes across 65 games. Russell will be the team's starting guard in the regular season, but the Timberwolves will look to give opportunities to younger players Friday with him, Rudy Gobert, and Karl-Anthony Towns not playing.

Comes close to double-double Russell registered 12 points (4-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, eight assists and two steals across 39 minutes during Tuesday's 111-109 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact Russell might have ended two assists away from posting a double-double, but he needs to take a bigger role on offense since he only attempted 10 shots -- that's a meager amount for someone who should be the third scoring option behind Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards. He hasn't scored more than 12 points in four of the five games in the series, but what's even more concerning is the fact that he has just 32.3 percent from the field in that span.

Leading scorer in Thursday's loss Russell closed with 22 points (9-21 FG, 4-8 3Pt), five rebounds, eight assists and one steal in 39 minutes during Thursday's 104-95 loss to Memphis.

Impact He led the Timberwolves in scoring on a night in which they blew a 26-point lead. Russell had managed only 21 points combined through the first two games in the series, but he may need to continue carrying a bigger scoring load if Karl-Anthony Towns' struggles on the offensive end continue.
