Russell, Young and Scott Discuss Video Incident

D’Angelo Russell, Nick Young and head coach Byron Scott held a media session before Wednesday’s game against Miami to discuss an ongoing issue regarding the two players.

Last week, two videos, shot by Russell, surfaced of the rookie asking Young about having relations with a woman other than his fiancee, rapper Iggy Azalea.

Young, who did not appear to know he was being taped, seemingly confirmed such a relationship, and the video was later posted online.

Below is a full transcription from the pregame pressers, including Young, who announced a statement rather than taking questions.

Byron Scott
Q: On keeping the team’s focus on the game, rather than the incident:
Scott: Just that: Talk about the game, talk about who we play tonight, our opponent, our coverages, the things that we’ve got to do to win the game.
