Lakers Injury Report: Latest On D'Angelo Russell's Tailbone Contusion

Russell suffered the injury against the Timberwolves while taking a charge, falling on his tailbone and subsequently bruising it. 

Here's what Darvin Ham had to say about the injury and the timetable for his return ahead of Friday night's 127-113 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies at home:

Evidently, there's little clarity as to when to expect him back, with Ham labeling him "day-to-day." 

While he could return as early as their game Sunday against the Clippers, we won't have much of an idea until it gets closer. 

In LA's array of losses over the past couple of weeks, they've struggled to score the basketball – especially in their recent losses to New Orleans, Miami, and last night against Memphis. To that end, while Russell hasn't been perfect, he's still averaging 15 points and six assists on 39% three-point shooting, meaning that his return should provide at least some degree of a spark to a struggling offense.
