D’Angelo Russell shares son Riley’s adorable gesture as Lakers star breaks franchise record

LA Lakers star D’Angelo Russell’s girlfriend Laura Ivaniukas took to Instagram to share the adorable gesture by their son Riley to commemorate Russell breaking a Lakers’ franchise record. Laura reshared the Lakers’ Instagram post on her story, which featured their son wearing a custom jersey that highlighted his dad’s new record.

With 6:15 left in the first quarter of the LA Lakers’ matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday, D’Angelo Russell drilled his 184th three-pointer in the 2023–24 season to set the Lakers franchise record for most three-pointers made within a single season.

He surpassed Nick Van Exel’s mark of 183, set in 1995.

 

During the post-game interview, Russell opened up about his achievement and mentioned wanting to add more to the record to make it difficult for the next person.

“This franchise is one of the most prestigious, so to have my name just to be part of it, more than grateful, blessed beyond measure,” Russell said.

“Just want to keep continuing to shatter it if I can, make it really hard for the next person.”

Though D’Angelo Russell has been a respectable three-point shooter throughout his career, the former All-Star is shooting a career-high 42.3% from beyond the arc this season and is averaging three of them per game.
