Ruled out with illness Russell (illness) won't play in Friday's game against the Nets, Noah Weber of TheSmokingCuban.com reports.

Impact The Mavericks downgraded Russell to questionable with an illness following Friday's morning shootaround, and the veteran guard isn't feeling well enough to give it a go. His next chance to suit up arrives Monday in Utah. Russell was already being phased out of Dallas' rotation a bit as of late, though his absence should solidify the playing time of Ryan Nembhard and Brandon Williams at point guard.

Iffy for Friday Russell (illness) is questionable for Friday's game against the Nets.

Impact Russell was a late addition to the injury report, presumably after waking up under the weather. His role has been trending down in recent weeks, but if he does sit out, Brandon Williams and Ryan Nembhard could have a slightly higher floor in fantasy hoops.

Muted output in win Russell had eight points (3-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt) and two assists across 18 minutes during Monday's 131-121 victory over the Nuggets.

Impact Russell's production has been very inconsistent this season, as he has shown instances of being able to pop for 20-plus points, but regularly seems to disappoint. With the emergence of Ryan Nembhard, Russell is now buried deeper in the depth chart and will see a decrease in usage moving forward.

Impact Russell caught fire late and hit four straight game-tying buckets to send the game to overtime, but unfortunately, he also missed some key free throws during the overtime period that would have put Dallas on top. He committed more turnovers than assists and bricked all six of his three-point attempts, but he still finished with a team-best plus/minus rating of plus-24.

Returning to bench role Russell isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Bucks, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Impact Russell failed to take advantage of his move to the starting five, averaging 8.0 points, 1.7 rebounds and 3.0 assists in three straight starts. He'll move to a bench role Monday, which allows Brandon Williams to make his first start of the 2025-26 campaign.

Disappointing results in first unit Russell ended Wednesday's 101-99 loss to New Orleans with nine points (3-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three assists and one block in 21 minutes.

Impact Head coach Jason Kidd chose to deploy a more traditional point guard in Russell in the starting lineup, though that didn't aid the Mavericks' sputtering offense. Russell has been unable to gain much traction with Dallas so far -- he's scored in double figures in just four of his first eight contests. However, the veteran guard has shown enough signs of life lately to remain worth holding in most fantasy leagues until Kyrie Irving (knee) returns, with Russell averaging 16.2 points, 6.5 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 2.3 three-pointers in 26.5 minutes over his past six outings.
