Russell finished Saturday's 106-97 loss to Miami with 22 points (6-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 6-6 FT), one rebound, six assists, two blocks and two steals over 26 minutes.

Ben Simmons and D'Angelo Russell's statuses for Saturday's Nets-Heat matchup are unclear amid a losing streak.

Despite a close miss by D'Angelo Russell, the Nets lost to the Lakers 102-101 in what was supposed to be a revenge game for Russell, who had 19 points, six rebounds, and eight assists off the bench. Ziaire Williams had 15 points and Tosan Evbuomwan had 15 points and six rebounds off the bench to continue his impressive stretch for Brooklyn after being one of the team's recent Two-Way signings.

Wins have been rare for the Brooklyn Nets amidst their recent struggles. Blowout wins have been a completely foreign concept. However, the rebuilding squad bucked that trend on Wednesday during a wire-to-wire 104-83 victory over the shorthanded Charlotte Hornets.

Missing four starters, including LaMelo Ball, the Hornets stumbled to a season-low-tying 83 points in Wednesday night's loss to the Nets. The defeat marks Charlotte's fourth loss in five games, while Brooklyn snapped its seven-game losing streak.

The Nets beat the Hornets 104-83 in a game that was a wire-to-wire win for a Brooklyn that hadn't done much winning due to the amount of injuries they have been trying to overcome along with inconsistency in closing games.

Starting a two-game road trip with the threat of an eight-game losing streak looming, the Brooklyn Nets needed to come out swinging against a battered Charlotte Hornets squad. Thankfully, they did, securing a 104-83 win at the Spectrum Center.

Lee was told postgame of Ball’s latest status. MRI results on his left ankle confirmed that it is a left ankle sprain, and the Hornets said their guard will be re-evaluated in one week, news that the head coach welcomed but still leaves his team in a bit of limbo at present.
