D'Angelo Russell injury status vs. Suns

All signs are pointing to Russell suiting up on Friday night. This is after the one-time All-Star was listed as probable to play by the Lakers. Russell is still dealing with a left foot injury, and this could be the case for him the rest of the way. Nevertheless, given the magnitude of Friday's contest, it would be a surprise if D-Lo ends up sitting out against Phoenix.

Tryuye enough, Russell was upgraded to available less than an hour before the game started. He will now be in the starting lineup against the Suns.

It is also worth noting that LeBron James and Anthony Davis popped up on the injury report as well. Both superstars were considered questionable to play, but like Russell, both LeBron and AD have been cleared to play as well.

Entering Friday's bout, the Lakers are still seventh in the West and are one game behind the Los Angeles Clippers and the Golden State Warriors, who currently occupy the fifth and sixth seeds, respectively.

Now, with regard to the question of Is D'Angelo Russell playing tonight vs. the Suns, the answer is yes.
