NBA

In the 2015 NBA draft , he was selected second by the Los Angeles Lakers . On March 1, 2016, Russell scored 39 points against the Brooklyn Nets . This was the highest number of points a rookie had ever scored in the 2015/16 season , as well as the highest point count for a Lakersrookie since Elgin Baylors in 1959. In his first year, Russell got 13.2 points, 3.4 in 80 NBA games Rebounds and 3.3 assists per game. However, the Lakers ended the season as the second worst team in the league. At the end of the season he was appointed to the NBA All-Rookie Second Team . The second year with the Lakers wasn't much better for Russell.

In June 2017 Russell was transferred to the Brooklyn Nets along with Timofey Mozgov for Brook Lopez . Russell completed only 48 season games due to a left knee injury. On March 23, 2018 against the Toronto Raptors , he became the first Nets player since Terrence Williams in 2010 to score a triple-double with 18 points, 13 assists and 11 rebounds. It was also the first triple double of his career. On January 18, 2019, Russell set a career record with 40 points against Orlando Magic . Russell was also nominated to replace the injured Victor Oladipo for the 2019 NBA All-Star Game . Russell led the Nets into the playoffs as the top scorer with 21.1 points on average and the best assists (7.0). In these, the Nets were eliminated in the first round against the Philadelphia 76ers .

In the summer of 2019, the Nets signed the stars Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving , so that there was no more place in the salary structure for Russell. Russell was then transferred to the Golden State Warriors in a "sign-and-trade" deal for Durant . Due to the failures of Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson , Russell got a place on the starting grid of the runner-up. On November 8, 2019, he set a career record of 52 points when the Warriors were defeated by the Minnesota Timberwolves .
