Resurgent under Luke Walton, Lakers' Nick Young ready for All-Star Weekend debut

/ STAFF WRITER

NEW ORLEANS – In his own unique way, Lakers veteran Nick Young reflected on his resurgent season while mixing in some commentary on the turmoil of the past few years.

When the NBA hosts its 3-point shooting contest as part of All-Star Weekend on Saturday at Smoothie King Center, Young will become the third Lakers player to participate in the event after Byron Scott (1987, 1988) and Michael Cooper (1987). Young didn’t miss an opportunity to take a jab at the former Lakers coach, who he frequently clashed with over playing time and public criticisms.
