NBA-Contrite Russell issues apology over Young filming incident

March 30 (Reuters) - Los Angeles Lakers rookie point guard D'Angelo Russell admitted he felt "sick" during a public apology he issued on Wednesday for secretly filming team mate Nick Young talking about women other than fiancé Iggy Azalea.

The video shows Russell filming Young while asking questions about being in relationships with other women. Young and Azalea, an Australian rapper, announced their engagement last June.

It is unclear how the video became public but it has reportedly caused a team-wide rift within the Lakers, who have had a woeful campaign and are mired at the bottom of the Western Conference standings with a 15-59 record.
