This entire "D'Angelo Russell being alienated by the Los Angeles Lakers teammates because he secretly recorded Nick Young talking to him about infidelity and it got out" story is just weird. It's apparently brought about some real distrust among Lakers teammates when it comes to the No. 2 overall pick in the draft, as you would expect it to. While Young's alleged infidelity with Australian rapper Iggy Azalea isn't exactly trustworthy on its own, the issue in focus from this incident is a betrayal of sorts between teammates.
Russell wouldn't speak to reporters following the shootaround prior to Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat, but John Black of the Lakers told the media both Russell and Young will speak to reporters before the game.
