D’Angelo Russell apologizes for lack of professionalism last season

“Hold myself more accountable on the defensive end,” Russell added. “Obviously I know I’m capable but, when you get subbed out of the game for offensive-defensive possessions obviously that shows where your trust is and your coach in your abilities. So for me, just trying to gain that trust from Coach defensively and consistently I’ma show up every day. Practice, game, preseason whatever knowing that Coach has that trust in me as well. And I think it will just continue to a successful season.” -via Lakers Nation / September 30, 2024
