RELATED: Ways D’Angelo Russell Can Save Himself From Nick Young Incident
The Los Angeles Lakers marriage with former no. 2 pick D’Angelo Russell could come to an end – sooner than later. Last week, the 20-year-old standout rookie from Louisville secretly recorded a conversation with Nick Young admitting some news that shouldn’t have gone public.
According to ESPN, the entire Los Angeles Lakers team has shunned Russell after the video surfaced, as officials within the organization are going out of their way to make sure Nick and D’Angelo are far away from each other as possible. It’s still unclear how the video became public, but this prank gone wrong may be unforgivable with this current constructed roster.
Soon after the tape went viral, Russell went to the locker-room before their blowout loss to Utah Monday and sat next Lou Williams, who immediately got up and walked away. The Lakers believed Russell could be an intricate part of their on-going rebuilding process, but his maturity issues could see him leaving town if they land the right pick next month’s NBA Draft Lottery.
We see you, Buddy Hield.
