Player1688 LA Lakers head coach JJ Reddick explained why he limited D’Angelo Russell’s playing time in the 114-131 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday, saying he lacked focus and didn’t look ready to compete in the heated atmosphere. Player1688  

Russell played just 22 games at the FedEx Forum, having previously averaged 31.3 minutes through seven games this season, before being pulled at 5:54 of the third quarter and not returning. 

Overall performance: 12 points, 4-of-12 field goals (2-of-9 from long range), 3 assists, worst of the season. Player1688
