D'Angelo Russell and Kendall Jenner Are "Just Friends," Says Another Tabloid

Yesterday, one tabloid said Lakers rookie D’Angelo Russell is dating Kendall Jenner, a half-sister of the Kardashians. Today, TMZ, which is essentially a publicity arm of the Kardashian clan, rebuts the report:

"But multiple sources (really good sources) tell us it just ain’t true … “They’re not dating.” One source connected to the situation put it this way — “Kendall is not into him.”"

There might not be any news in the world that would have a more profoundly positive impact on Russell’s long-term career than that.
