D'Angelo Russell News, Rumors, Updates - Washington Wizards

Won't report to Wizards Wizards' GM, Will Darkins, said Sunday that he won't ask D'Angelo Russell to report to the team "until we try to figure out what's best for him and us in our future," Henry J. Brow...

Impact It sounds like Russell will not be a part of the team in D.C., and this situation could be headed towards a buy-out. Russell fell out of the rotation in Dallas and became a throw-in in the Anthony Davis deal, but there doesn't appear to be much of a market for the veteran point guard.

Impact Russell fell out of Dallas' rotation and hasn't seen the floor since Jan. 10, so the writing has been on the wall. He joins a Washington squad that has two promising point guards in Tre Johnson (ankle) and Bub Carrington, while Trae Young (knee) remains without a timetable to return. From a fantasy perspective, a change of scenery can only help Russell, but it's hard to get excited about this landing spot for the veteran. He can be considered questionable to debut Thursday against the Pistons.

Iffy for Tuesday Russell (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's game versus Boston.

Impact Russell hasn't seen the floor since Jan. 10, so his status is irrelevant for fantasy hoops. He'll be a name to watch at the trade deadline.

Absent from injury report Russell (illness) is off the injury report for Thursday's game against the Warriors.

Impact After missing consecutive outings with an illness, Russell is ready to suit up for the first time since Jan. 15. That said, the veteran guard didn't appear in Dallas' three prior contests before the ailment, so Russell's presence may not have any impact on the backcourt rotation.

JANUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

D'Angelo Russell may have quietly played his final game for the Mavericks D'Angelo Russell's days in Dallas seem to be numbered.

JANUARY 20 • THESMOKINGCUBAN.COM

Ruled out for Monday Russell (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Knicks.

Impact Russell will miss his second consecutive contest due to an illness, and his next opportunity to play will come Thursday against the Warriors. The veteran guard has appeared in just one game this month, so his absence shouldn't cause any significant waves in the Dallas rotation.

JANUARY 18 • ROTOWIRE

Late scratch with illness Russell (illness) is out for Saturday's game against the Jazz.

Impact After not being listed on the initial injury report, Russell is a late scratch due to an illness Saturday. His next chance to play arrives Monday against the Knicks, though Russell hasn't been part of the Dallas rotation in three consecutive contests.

JANUARY 17 • ROTOWIRE

Back in rotation Russell amassed eight points (4-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds and four assists over 19 minutes during Saturday's 125-107 loss to the Bulls.

Impact Russell moved back into the rotation, playing for the first time in the past six games after Brandon Williams was ruled out with an illness. Russell has been a non-factor this season, playing a muted role as the third-string point guard. In five appearances over the past month, he has averaged just 5.6 points and 2.6 assists in 13.7 minutes per game.

JANUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Off injury report Russell (illness) isn't listed on the injury report for Saturday's game against the Rockets.

Impact Russell is set to return to action after sitting out Thursday's loss to Philadelphia due to an illness. The veteran point guard hasn't been a regular part of the rotation of late, so he isn't guaranteed to see meaningful minutes Saturday. Over his last five appearances, Russell has averaged 4.8 points and 2.2 assists while shooting 42.1 percent from the field in 12.6 minutes per game.

JANUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Thursday Russell (illness) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the 76ers, Noah Weber of TheSmokingCuban.com reports.

Impact Russell wasn't able to shake off an illness in time for Thursday night's game and will not be available. He's been in and out of the Mavericks' rotation this season, but his absence means more minutes will be available for Jaden Hardy and Naji Marshall. Russell's next opportunity to play is Saturday against the Rockets.

JANUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Thursday Russell (illness) is questionable for Thursday's game against the 76ers.

Impact Russell was a late addition to the injury report. He's been in and out of the rotation recently, averaging 12.5 minutes over his last four appearances.

JANUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Back in rotation Saturday Russell accumulated seven points (3-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four assists and one steal over 13 minutes during Saturday's 113-107 loss to the Kings.

Impact Russell was back in the rotation, albeit for just 13 minutes. With Brandon Williams (calf) sidelined, head coach Jason Kidd was forced to dust off Russell, allowing him to step onto the floor for just the fourth time in the past eight games. It's been a disastrous season for Russell, averaging just 10.2 points, 4.0 assists and 1.3 three-pointers in 25 appearances.

Muted role in return Russell (illness) registered four points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and one steal across 11 minutes in Thursday's 116-114 overtime win over the Pistons.

Impact Russell had missed Dallas' previous two games due to an illness, but he was able to settle back into the rotation Thursday after shaking off the ailment. With the Mavericks having opened up more playing time at point guard lately for Ryan Nembhard and Brandon Williams, only scraps have been left over for Russell. The 29-year-old has played fewer than 20 minutes in each of his last six appearances.

DECEMBER 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Available to play Russell (illness) is available to play Thursday versus the Pistons, Christian Clark of The Athletic reports.

Impact Russell is set to return from a two-game absence, but his minutes have been declining in Dallas. He's logged 20 minutes since November, and with minutes in the teens, it's tough for Russell to make an impact in most fantasy leagues.

DECEMBER 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Downgraded to questionable Russell (illness) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Detroit.

Impact Russell had initially been tabbed probable for the contest due to illness, but he's now considered questionable. With Brandon Williams (Achilles) also questionable, Ryan Nembhard and Jaden Hardy could be tasked with handling most of the point guard duties.
