Dennis Schroder laughs off D’Angelo Russell’s comments: ‘Immaturity’
INDIANAPOLIS — Nets point guard Dennis Schroder doesn’t understand why D’Angelo Russell, who plays for the playoffs against the Lakers nearly 3,000 miles away, would verbally attack him.
The only answer he could come up with was “immaturity.”
Asked about Russell’s recent comments, Schroder laughed and said, “I don’t know.” “I showed it to my wife because I didn’t even see it until one of the German coaches sent it to me. I mean, I don’t know. But at the end of the day, it shows immaturity. Just do it. If you just say someone’s name and just do it, you’re not really mature. You don’t understand.”
The timing was also strange and a bit difficult to understand.

With the Lakers sitting ninth in the Western Conference and firmly within play-in territory, Russell said in an interview with ESPN that he had a difficult time building a relationship with Lakers head coach Darvin Ham last season. He said that was because of the bond the coach and Schroder had from being together for so long. Atlanta from 2013 to 2018.
What that means, of course, is that Ham played like a championship favorite last season when Schroder was in Los Angeles.
“I’m here and he’s not,” Russell said. “I like our chances.”
Ham admitted to being a fan of Schroder since his time with the Hawks, saying, “Yeah, Dennis is someone I love and care about. Dennis is a hell of a player.”
Former Net Russell also took passive offensive shots against Ham, but like Sacramento coach Mike Brown in Wednesday’s loss to the Kings, he frequently blames opposing coaches for the Lakers’ losses. Was.
Mr. Schroeder was dignified when asked about Mr. Russell.

“At the end of the day, everyone is their own player and everyone has to stand up for themselves,” Schroder said. “But at the end of the day, I don’t want no…I’m not even going to react to that. I don’t want him to continue playing like that because that’s the way it is and it could backfire. So I hope everything goes well for the Lakers and us.”
Schroder is averaging a team-high 14.5 points, 5.7 assists and shooting 47.9 percent from the field since being acquired from Toronto in place of Spencer Dinwiddie.
Dinwiddie was traded to Toronto as part of the Schröder deal, but was waived by the Raptors and then signed with the Lakers as Russell’s backup.
Over the past 10 games, Schroder is averaging 17.6 points, 6.5 assists and shooting 53.8 percent from deep.
