The Los Angeles Lakers season faced more issues after rookie D’Angelo Russell filmed teammate Nick Young who admitted to cheating on his fianc\u00e9e rapper\u00a0Iggy Azalea.<\/p>\n
The Lakers, who are in last place in the Western Conference with a 16-59 record, now face trust issues with Young.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s bad,\u201d one team source told ESPN.com<\/a>\u2019s Ramona Shelburne.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s about as bad as it can get. There were trust issues already. Now there\u2019s no trust,\u201d a team member said, according to Deadspin.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n According to sources mentioned by ESPN, Young’s teammates have isolated themselves from him and when Young tried to sit down at a team breakfast, players got up and sat elsewhere.<\/p>\n This season, which is primarily a farewell tour for five time NBA champion and future hall of famer Kobe Bryant, continues to be a struggle for the Lakers both on and off the court.<\/p>\n Russell, who is just 20 years old, has played extremely well this season after being drafted 3rd overall by the Lakers.\u00a0 It appears he has some maturity\u00a0to improve on and trust to regain as the season concludes.<\/p>\n “It’s just unfortunate, man. It’s tough,” Bryant said in the Los Angeles Times<\/em>. “I’m sure he’ll evolve. I’m sure he will grow and I’m sure he’ll be better from it.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By WYATT GELLER The Los Angeles Lakers season faced more issues after rookie D’Angelo Russell filmed teammate Nick Young who admitted to cheating on his fianc\u00e9e rapper\u00a0Iggy Azalea.
