One of the biggest stories for the Los Angeles Lakers, and the NBA as a whole, this season has been the resurgence of Nick Young. Many assumed Young would be traded or released by the team this summer, but not only did he stick around, he impressed the coaching staff enough to earn a starting role.
Young has increased his numbers across the board while showing an increased focus on defense that has never been seen, but now his bounce back season has hit a road block.
In the opening minutes Tuesday’s game against the New Orleans Pelicans, Young had to be helped off the court with a right leg injury.
