After just one season for Central, Russell transferred to Montverde Academy in Montverde, Florida for his sophomore year. At Montverde, he played alongside future NBA star Ben Simmons. Together, they helped lead Montverde to back-to-back High School National Tournament championships. Following his high school career, Russell was named a McDonald’s All-American, a 5-star recruit, and also got a chance to play in the Jordan Brand Classic. He then went on to commit to the Ohio State Buckeyes on June 7, 2013.
Russell had the opportunity to play for Louisville, Michigan State, North Carolina, and many others. Instead, D’Angelo decided to play for the Ohio State Buckeyes. In his one year as a Buckeye, Russell became the first freshman in Ohio State history to record a triple-double. He did so by tallying 23 points, 11 rebounds, and 11 assists in a win over Rutgers. Russell finished the year by averaging 19.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 5.0 assists, and 1.6 steals per game. He earned the Oscar Robertson Trophy and Jerry West Award. He was also named First-Team All-American, First-Team All-Big Ten, and Big Ten Freshman of the Year. Russell then declared for the 2015 NBA Draft, forgoing his final three years at Ohio State.
D’Angelo Russell was drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers with the second overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft on June 25, 2015. He had an underwhelming NBA debut with just four points, three rebounds, and two assists against the Minnesota Timberwolves. However, Russell did tally his first career double-double with 16 points and 10 rebounds in a December 4 matchup with the Atlanta Hawks. His first breakout game came on March 1, with 39 points against the Brooklyn Nets. In his 2016-17 season, D’Angelo started the season with a 20 point game in the season opener versus the Houston Rockets. After an average season, the Lakers decided to part ways with Russell, trading him to the Brooklyn Nets, alongside Timofey Mozgov in exchange for Brook Lopez and the rights to Kyle Kuzma.
D’Angelo Russell began to make a name for himself as a Brooklyn Net. In his debut for the Nets, Russell poured in 30 points and added five assists in a loss to the Indiana Pacers. He also recorded his first career triple-double in his first season with the Nets, with a 18 point, 13 assist, and 11 rebound outing against the Raptors. Russell continued his new found dominance into the next season, adding a career-best nine 3-pointers in a 31 point barrage against the Minnesota Timberwolves on November 12, 2018. Amongst a great season, Russell was named to his first NBA All-Star team in 2019. He led the Nets to the playoffs as well. The Nets did extend a qualifying offer to Russel in 2019, making him a restricted free agent.
Despite the Brooklyn Nets fans love for him, D’Angelo Russell was traded to the Golden State Warriors on July 7, 2019 in a sign-and-trade deal for Kevin Durant. Russell showed instant effectiveness for the Warriors, pouring in a career-high 52 points in a loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on November 8. Shortly after, Russell was traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves, alongside Jacob Evans and Omari Spellman, in exchange for Andrew Wiggins and two draft picks. In his Minnesota Timberwolves debut, D’Angelo tallied 22 points and five assists against the Toronto Raptors. It seems like Minnesota could be a great fit for Russell, as he is now paired with perennial big man Karl-Anthony Towns.
