2025 Fantasy Outlook
Russell had yet another tumultuous season in 2024-25. He began the season in Los Angeles, but he quickly fell out of favor with the Lakers as he shot 41.3 percent from the field and 33 percent from beyond the arc. A mid-season return to Brooklyn didn't change his trajectory either, as he once again struggled to find a rhythm on offense. Overall, Russell made 58 regular-season appearances with averages of 12.6 points, 5.1 assists, 2.8 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 1.9 three-pointers, placing him outside the top-150 in standard leagues on a per-game basis. In free agency, the Mavericks aggressively pursued Russell and signed him to a two-year, $13 million deal. Russell is projected to start on Opening Night, filling the void until the Mavericks get Kyrie Irving (knee) back at some point after the new year. Even while Irving is sidelined, it's fair to wonder how much usage Russell will be allotted next to the likes of Anthony Davis, Cooper Flagg, Klay Thompson and P.J. Washington. For that reason, Russell projects as mostly a streaming option or short-term rental at the beginning of the season. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year, $5.69 million contract with the Mavericks in July of 2025. Traded to the Wizards in February of 2026. Contract includes $5.97 million player option for 2026-27. Exercised $6 million player option in June of 2026. Traded to the Grizzlies in July of 2026. 
Traded to Memphis
The Wizards traded Russell, a second-round pick and a second-round pick swap to the Grizzlies on Tuesday as part of a six-team deal, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Russell picked up his $6 million player option June 19 after not appearing in a game for the Wizards following his trade from the Mavericks at the deadline. Prior to the trade, the guard wasn't a consistent member of Dallas' rotation, averaging 10.2 points, 4.0 assists and 2.3 rebounds in 19.0 minutes per contest across 26 appearances (three starts). Russell will look to get a fresh start in Memphis, though it remains to be seen whether he'll carve out a significant role with his new team.

Russell enters his third season as a member of the Los Angeles Lakers since rejoining the squad mid-way through the 2022-23 campaign. He is coming off a strong year in 2023-24, where he averaged at least 18.0 points per game for the fifth time in his nine-season career. He shot considerably well from long range, averaging at least 3.0 made three-pointers per game for just the second time in his career, and he shot a career-best 41.5 percent from deep. Regular season and playoffs combined, Russell hit the 20-point mark 32 times last season, including five games with at least 30 and a season-high 44 points. He did well in his primary role as a distributor, averaging 6.3 assists per game to tie the third-best rate of his career. He logged at least 10 assists on 11 occasions and averaged 17.4 points and just 2.0 turnovers in those outings. Finally, Russell did a good job taking care of the ball, averaging a career-low 2.1 turnovers per game in 2023-24, while also averaging a career-high of 32.7 minutes of playing time. Looking ahead, Russell will enter the season as the starting point guard for the Lakers and will continue to benefit from a great opportunity to thrive alongside the high-level talent of LeBron James and Anthony Davis.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Unlikely to stick around
Russell will not be required to report to Washington after being acquired at the trade deadline, with the Wizards working toward either a buyout or a mutual decision on his status, according to Wizards reporter Henry Brown.
ANALYSIS
Russell is on a $5.7 million contract this season and holds a $5.9 million player option for next year. Washington is prioritizing flexibility as it reshapes its roster, and it's hard to imagine the veteran guard sticking around for this rebuild. If Russell negotiates a buyout, he could be a popular player for contenders to pursue on the cheap.
