Russell (tailbone) ended with 13 points (5-14 FG, 3-9 3Pt), six assists, one block and one steal in 31 minutes during Sunday's 106-103 victory over the Clippers.
Russell returned from a three-game absence due to a tailbone contusion and delivered a respectable performance off the bench. Head coach Darvin Ham appears set to stick with Austin Reaves as the team's starting point guard moving forward, as Russell had been demoted to the second unit even before the tailbone injury surfaced. The move to the bench will suppress Russell's playing-time ceiling, but given that he saw 31 minutes Sunday in a competitive game, the 27-year-old may still be worthy of holding in 12-team points and category leagues.
