Brooklyn Nets guard D'Angelo Russell is back with the Nets for the second time in his career. This time around, he can be himself again.

With Russell back in Brooklyn for the first time since his two seasons there from 2017 to 2019, he's now coming back from his second time with Los Angeles. In an interview with HoopsHype, Russell would be candid in saying how “traumatized” he was with the Lakers and explains his situation.

D’Angelo Russell played a major role in helping the Nets upset a shorthanded Lakers team on Monday night. But Gabe Vincent, who played one of his best games of the season against Brooklyn, was not concerned about how the loss might affect the team moving forward.
