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.

D'Angelo Russell Nets homecoming is the latest development to throw Ben Simmons' role into question this season.

Unfortunately for the Nets, even the presence of Russell was not enough to prevent the team from enduring a 130-113 loss to the Raptors. Russell had 22 points and eight assists in his debut (second stint) with the franchise while Cam Johnson had 24 points and three assists.
