Lakers expect Nick Young out 2-4 weeks with strained calf muscle in right leg

CHICAGO -- Lakers guard Nick Young will be sidelined for two to four weeks after an MRI taken on Wednesday revealed a strained calf muscle in his right leg.

The Lakers (9-10) will miss Young, beginning with tonight's game against the Chicago Bulls (10-6) at United Center. Young has had a resurgent season thus far under first-year coach Luke Walton by averaging 14.1 points on 45.8 percent shooting in 26.4 minutes as a starter. It does not help that Lakers starting point guard D'Angelo Russell is sidelined for at least another week while rehabbing his sore left knee.
