Wizards' D'Angelo Russell: Won't report to Wizards
Rotowire
Wizards' GM Will Darkins said Sunday he won't ask Russell to report to the team "until we try to figure out what's best for him and us in our future," Henry J. Brown of SI reports.
It sounds like Russell will not be a part of the team in D.C., and this situation could be headed towards a buyout. Russell fell out of the rotation in Dallas and became a throw-in player in the Anthony Davis deal, but there doesn't appear to be much of a market for the veteran point guard.

Wizards' D'Angelo Russell: Traded to Wizards
Rotowire
The Mavericks traded Russell (illness) to the Wizards on Wednesday, ESPN's Shams Charania reports. Anthony Davis (finger), Jaden Hardy and Dante Exum (knee) were also sent to the Wizards for Khris Middleton, AJ Johnson, Malaki Branham, Marvin Bagley, two first-round picks and three second-round picks.
Russell fell out of Dallas' rotation and hasn't seen the floor since Jan. 10, so the writing has been on the wall. He joins a Washington squad that has two promising point guards in Tre Johnson (ankle) and Bub Carrington, while Trae Young (knee) remains without a timetable to return. From a fantasy perspective, a change of scenery can only help Russell, but it's hard to get excited about this landing spot for the veteran. He can be considered doubtful to debut Thursday against the Pistons.

Rotowire
Russell (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Knicks.
Russell will miss his second consecutive contest due to an illness, and his next opportunity to play will come Thursday against the Warriors. The veteran guard has appeared in just one game this month, so his absence shouldn't cause any significant waves in the Dallas rotation.

Mavericks' D'Angelo Russell: Muted role in return
Rotowire
Russell (illness) registered four points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and one steal across 11 minutes in Thursday's 116-114 overtime win over the Pistons.
Russell had missed Dallas' previous two games due to an illness, but he was able to settle back into the rotation Thursday after shaking off the ailment. With the Mavericks having opened up more playing time at point guard lately for Ryan Nembhard and Brandon Williams, only scraps have been left over for Russell. The 29-year-old has played fewer than 20 minutes in each of his last six appearances.
