Just a few days after the Los Angeles Lakers decided to part ways with point guard D'Angelo Russell, the former lottery pick made his debut in Brooklyn once again. Russell played his first game with the Nets since being traded by the Lakers and put together a very nice showing.

Cam Johnson led the Nets with 24. Russell was stellar with no real practice time, while starting point guard Ben Simmons was a team-worst minus-18. Scottie Barnes had 33 points, and Toronto dominated inside late, aided by an injury to Nets starting power forward Noah Clowney.
