Russell posted nine points (2-9 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 10 assists and a rebound across 31 minutes in Thursday's 128-122 win over the Suns.
Russell struggled with his shot but excelled as the team's primary distributor. He hasn't posted much offensive production in the preseason but will get a substantial minute increase when the regular season begins, allowing for more opportunities.
