Russell has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Pacers due to right ankle soreness, Sharif Phillips-Keaton of USA Today reports.
Russell is coming off two of his better performances since joining the Nets, logging 29- and 32-minute workloads in those contests while averaging 20.0 points, 6.5 assists, 3.5 three-pointers, 3.0 rebounds and 1.0 steals. However, Russell may have tweaked his ankle at some point along the way, prompting the Nets to rule him out for Saturday.
