D’ Angelo Russell will be missing the Brooklyn Nets indefinitely. The Point Guard had to undergo an arthroscopic surgery on his left knee on Friday.

It was an arthroscopic surgery, so the plan would be for him to return this season,”said Nets-GM Sean Marks. Russell had injured his knee in the game against Utah.

“It’s definitely frustrating for him,”said Marks,”but he sees this as a new challenge. He will fight back, and we have no doubt that he will come back stronger than ever.”

Russell, who came from the Lakers via trade in the summer, had hung up an average of 20.9 points and 5.7 assists for the Nets in twelve games so far. For the time being he will be represented by Spencer Dinwiddie.

However, there is a “pretty good chance”that Brooklyn will apply for a Disabled Player Exception to sign another Guard. After all, Jeremy Lin is already out for the whole season.
