D’Angelo Russell moved from the playoff-bound Los Angeles Lakers to the lowly Brooklyn Nets earlier this season. Many players might not be happy with that, but it sounds like it was precisely what Russell wanted.

Brooklyn Nets guard D'Angelo Russell is back with the Nets for the second time in his career. This time around, he can be himself again.

With Russell back in Brooklyn for the first time since his two seasons there from 2017 to 2019, he's now coming back from his second time with Los Angeles. In an interview with HoopsHype, Russell would be candid in saying how “traumatized” he was with the Lakers and explains his situation.
