The Dallas Mavericks finally escaped their D'Angelo Russell dilemma by trading him to the Washington Wizards as part of the Anthony Davis trade last week, and his situation only got stranger once he was traded to the Wizards. The trade happened just over a week ago, but it doesn't look like Russell will ever put on a Washington Wizards jersey.
Washington general manager Will Dawkins stated that Russell is "not going to report as we try to figure out what’s best for him and us in our future." Russell not even reporting to the Wizards is strange, to say the least, as he needs as many reps as he can get to finish off the season after getting completely benched by Jason Kidd in Dallas.
