Nick young

The DeAngelo Russell, Nick Young fiasco may have died down a bit from a media standpoint, but the Lakers are still feeling it in the locker room. Who knows if anyone is even talking to Russell and can you imagine what Young is still going through?

According to head coach Byron Scott, Nick Young has sort of checked out mentally. It’s not hard to understand why.

“Right now he’s not here with us mentally,” Coach Byron Scott.

“I know what he’s going through,” Scott said, “and I know it’s hard on him. … There’s no need to put him on the floor as well.” […] Young has been at practices and shoot arounds, and Scott said he had no complaints about how Young has handled himself around the team in the wake of his scandal.
