Laura Ivaniukas, D’Angelo Russell’s fiancée, is anticipating their second child together, with their first child, Riley, already a part of their family. Ivaniukas is openly sharing her pregnancy journey on social media, although this time around, she’s facing more challenges.

In a recent Instagram post, Ivaniukas shared a photo of herself working out on a treadmill, alongside a candid caption discussing the difficulties of her current pregnancy. She revealed that her workouts have become significantly more challenging and exhausting compared to her first pregnancy with Riley. Despite these challenges, Ivaniukas mentioned that she still engages in physical activity while caring for Riley. During her first pregnancy, she continued weight training until the 39th week.

On the basketball front, D’Angelo Russell’s role with the Los Angeles Lakers is crucial, especially as they navigate the postseason.

Russell’s performance this season has been noteworthy, particularly his improved shooting percentages. To maintain his starting position, Russell needs to maintain his current level of performance, especially given his defensive shortcomings.

As LeBron James rests, Russell may see increased playing time and responsibility as a playmaker. His average playing time this season has increased compared to previous postseasons, highlighting his growing importance to the Lakers’ offense.
