The Los Angeles Lakers are back at full strength, with guard D’Angelo Russell making his return from injury in a 122-112 comeback win over the Toronto Raptors at Crypto.com Arena on Friday night. Russell, one of the key pieces the team acquired at the trade deadline, was a spark plug for the Lakers, picking up the slack for an off night from Anthony Davis, who took just seven shots and scored only eight points. Russell was in the middle of the biggest runs, hitting transition threes and dishing assists as the game swung wildly to the Lakers during the second…
