The last time D’Angelo Russell was a Net, he earned his only All-Star Game appearance and helped them to an unexpected playoff berth.
In his Brooklyn return, Russell is convinced they can make an even more shocking postseason run this time around.
“Last time it just … kind of happened,” Russell said. “So I think if it’s gonna happen, it will. We definitely have the chance. We definitely have a nice group, definitely have all the coaches and everything to give it that.
“So we’ll keep preparing like that’s in the plans. But as far as getting ahead of myself and trying to do things out of the ordinary, that’s not really … it’s kind of out of my control, I would say. So [we’ve] just got to go one game at a time, one win at a time.”
