Los Angeles Lakers guard D’Angelo Russell told reporters after the team’s 97-81 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers that he wanted to use the team’s final nine contests to take his own game “to another level.”
He has apparently gotten a head start on that, as Russell was once again captured on Instagram working out in the Lakers practice facility after midnight:

This is the second time Russell has been spotted working out after hours in the Lakers' facility, as he did the same thing after scoring 40 points in the team’s defeat at the hands of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
These two workouts specifically may not be what ends up helping Russell flip the proverbial switch and harness his true potential consistently, but they certainly can't hurt as he aims to improve heading into the offseason.
