What did it mean to you to return to Brooklyn? D’Angelo Russell: It’s great. I would never take it for granted, coming from where I came from. Obviously, I was a little traumatized there. To be here and get the opportunity to just be me where there’s familiarity as well is just icing on the cake. I’m at the point in my career where I’m not going out and scoring 25 points every night and wowing with numbers. It’s a point where I’m trying to gravitate towards doing it the right way, and how I can contribute to winning is my priority. He (Coach Fernandez) lets me do that. He trusts me already, so I can imagine getting to training camp for something like that and having that under my belt with the guys. I think the sky’s the limit.

The Hornets cut it to four but D’Angelo Russell answered with two and-ones and a transition three.
He’s having his way with Charlotte’s drop coverage. Now up to 22 points on 8/14 shooting.
Nets lead by 10. – 8:02 PM

More on this storyline
Would you be open to returning next season as a Net? D’Angelo Russell: Yeah. Why wouldn’t I? I keep seeing stuff coming out. I’ll tell you. Heck yeah. I want to be wherever I’m at. I’m here. I love these guys. I appreciate this, and I would love to be back. -via HoopsHype / March 11, 2025
How would you describe your relationship with Jordi Fernandez behind the scenes? D’Angelo Russell: I just appreciate it more than anything because I’ve come from places where I don’t have that relationship. I’ve kind of just had success off of just showing up and no relationship. With JJ (Redick), I had a solid relationship with him on the way out. I told Jordi today for him to trust me and allow me to be a basketball player and not just a shot maker. If my shots aren’t falling, he still trusts me to be out there to make plays. I respect that more than anything. I’ve been kind of categorized as a guy who only makes shots, but being a basketball player is my strength. For him to trust me so soon since I’ve been here, I’m nothing but appreciative. -via HoopsHype / March 11, 2025
