Uncertainty hovers over Nick Young regarding his future with the Lakers. His personal life also has played out like a soap opera on celebrity gossip sites.
Despite that backdrop, Young walked out of Los Angeles Southwest College on Sunday evening bearing his signature smile. The reasons went beyond helping his Drew League team secure a playoff victory that ensures another postseason appearance next week.
Young also seemed at peace surrounding an incident that fueled frustration throughout a taxing a 2015-16 season. Young maintained he no longer harbors animosity toward Lakers second-year guard D’Angelo Russell, who secretly recorded Young on his phone admitting to infidelities with rapper and former fiancee Iggy Azalea.
