Brooklyn Nets guard D'Angelo Russell is believed to want to stay in Brooklyn for next season, according to Brian Lewis of the New York Post.

Courtesy of a five-game losing streak which has squashed any optimism surrounding the Brooklyn Nets' ability to fight for the final Eastern Conference play-in spot, it may be time to start looking toward the future.

Brian Lewis: Brooklyn did not keep Killian Hayes on a second 10-day contract, sources told the Post. After Hayes started the past five straight games, his deal expired today. It could be a sign that starting point guard D'Angelo Russell is getting close to a return. #Nets -via x.com / March 2, 2025

Brooklyn Nets guard D'Angelo Russell is available for Tuesday's game at the San Antonio Spurs, the team announced on Monday. Cam Thomas is back, too.

When the Nets acquired D’Angelo Russell from the Lakers in the Dorian Finney-Smith trade in December, the veteran point guard was included primarily because of his $18.7MM expiring contract, not because Brooklyn was specifically looking to reunite with the former Net.

D'Angelo Russell will return to action for the Nets vs. the Spurs on Tuesday amid a four-game Brooklyn losing streak.

The Brooklyn Nets — amid a four-game losing streak — are set to welcome back their veteran point guard to the rotation. Per Erik Slater, D'Angelo Russell will return to the Nets' lineup for tomorrow's matchup with the San Antonio Spurs following a five-game absence.
