Video: D’Angelo Russell shows no mercy for young camper as he goes all out on basketball court

Minnesota Timberwolves guard D’Angelo Russell isn’t taking it easy on campers this summer.

The former No. 2 overall pick showed no mercy on a block of a young camper while playing him in a one-on-one matchup.

Russell not only blocked the shot, but he stared the camper down as well as lead the rest of the camp to erupt in a frenzy.

It’s nice to see players give back to the younger generation during the offseason and help them hone their craft.

Russell is coming off an injury-plagued 2020-21 campaign that saw him appear in just 42 games.

Still, the one-time All-Star had a solid season. He averaged 19.0 points, 2.6 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game while shooting 43.1 percent from the field and 38.7 percent from 3-point range.

Russell and the Timberwolves will try to improve on their dismal 23-49 record from this season in the 2021-22 campaign.
