In five appearances over the past month, he has averaged just 5.6 points and 2.6 assists in 13.7 minutes per game.

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.

It's been a disastrous season for Russell, averaging just 10.2 points, 4.0 assists and 1.3 three-pointers in 25 appearances.

The 29-year-old has played fewer than 20 minutes in each of his last six appearances.

With the emergence of Ryan Nembhard, Russell is now buried deeper in the depth chart and will see a decrease in usage moving forward.
