D'Angelo Russell will return to the Lakers while Russell Westbrook is headed to the Utah Jazz, sources said. The Lakers also reportedly made a second trade that sends Thomas Bryant to Denver.
, and they sit in 13th place in the 15-team Western Conference.
The 34-year-old Westbrook is making about $47 million in the final year of his contract. Several months after the Lakers infuriated a large portion of their worldwide fan base by not trading Westbrook in the summer, they swapped him for Russell, who played his first two NBA seasons with the Lakers after they chose him with the second overall pick in the 2015 draft.
The Timberwolves courted Russell hard when he was on the market in July 2019, when Brooklyn ultimately landed on a sign-and-trade deal that sent Kevin Durant to the Nets and shipped Russell to Golden State. The Wolves eventually acquired Russell at the deadline in Feb. 2020 and teamed him with his draft-class pal, Karl-Anthony Towns.
Russell is shooting a career-best 39.1% from 3-point range, having made five or more shots from deep in six of his last 17 games.
