This is, of course, good news for the Lakers, who were suffering from a rope injury. It is also interesting to see if the uptrend can gain more momentum after Russell returns.
The Lakers, who are burning their will to advance to the playoffs, have recently risen to 9th place in the Western Conference with 4 wins and 2 losses in the last 6 games.
