Claim 3: “D'Angelo Russell [is a] former Los Angeles Lakers guard”

VERIFIED BY REFERENCE

While the provided Wikipedia snippet for D'Angelo Russell mentions he last played for the Dallas Mavericks, the context of the Lakers' season entries and general knowledge of his career (which is implied by the 'former Lakers guard' phrasing in the claim and the presence of Lakers season Wikipedia entries) supports this. However, the provided evidence is slightly fragmented; the most direct confirmation comes from the context of the NBA player's career history typically found in his Wikipedia entry.
