Lakers rookie point guard D’Angelo Russell has lost support among certain teammates after secretly recording a video that showed Nick Young admitting seeing another woman besides his fiancee, Iggy Azalea, according to multiple sources familiar with the situation.
The video, which was obtained somehow by celebrity gossip Fameolous this week, showed Russell filming Young in a hotel room while asking him questions about women. Russell asked Young, “You was 30 and she was 19?” referring to Young’s age and the age of an unnamed woman Young said he met at a nightclub.
Young was friends with Russell and often publicly supported him amid the constant criticism the Lakers’ rookie point guard received under Lakers coach Byron Scott surrounding his play, work ethic and maturity.
