Fans speculated whether this emotional display was linked to the persistent trade talks surrounding him.

The video triggered widespread conjecture, with many suggesting that Russell might have received news about an imminent trade, possibly marking the end of his current stint with the Lakers.

Russell’s recent involvement in trade discussions has fueled these speculations.

The Lakers’ victory against the Trail Blazers marked their third win in the last four games, aligning with an upswing in Russell’s performance.

After being benched for seven consecutive games, Russell returned to the starting lineup on January 13 and has since showcased impressive statistics, averaging 27.2 points, 2.2 rebounds, 6.4 assists, and 4.4 three-pointers per game.
