BROOKLYN, NY – D’Angelo Russell, currently with the Los Angeles Lakers, recently voiced strong criticism of his former team, the Brooklyn Nets, during an appearance on a yet-unspecified program. Russell alleges a lack of proper development and coaching during his tenure with the Nets.
Russell’s most impactful season came with the Nets during the 2018-19 NBA season. He averaged 21.1 points and 7.0 assists per game,earning him a selection to the Eastern Conference All-Star team. Playing primarily at the point guard position, Russell led the Nets to a 42-40 regular season record, securing their first playoff berth as the 2014-15 season, where they were swept in the first round by the Atlanta Hawks.
The Nets played their home games at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New york. Russell was acquired by the Nets in July 2017 as part of a trade with the Los Angeles Lakers that sent Timofey Mozgov and a first-round draft pick to the Lakers. He played 51 games in his first season with Brooklyn, averaging 16.3 points and 5.2 assists.
Russell’s time with the Nets concluded in July 2019 when he was traded to the Golden State Warriors in a sign-and-trade deal. The Nets acquired Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving in the subsequent offseason, signaling a shift in team direction. Russell’s comments suggest lingering frustration with the support he received from the Nets association during his development as a player.
