Earlier this week, the Nets acquired point guard D'Angelo Russell in a trade with the Los Angeles Lakers, bringing the former No. 2 overall pick back to Brooklyn. Russell, 28, was with the Nets back from 2017-19 and he was an All-Star in his second season with the team.

After Wednesday's 130-113 loss at the Toronto Raptors, Brooklyn Nets guard D'Angelo Russell reacted to his first game with the team.

Cam Johnson led the Nets with 24. Russell was stellar with no real practice time, while starting point guard Ben Simmons was a team-worst minus-18. Scottie Barnes had 33 points, and Toronto dominated inside late, aided by an injury to Nets starting power forward Noah Clowney.
