Lakers Dismayed Russell's Video Of Young Became Public

GREG BEACHAM, AP Sports Writer

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) — Lakers coach Byron Scott is "disappointed" that an unflattering video of Nick Young apparently taken by rookie teammate D'Angelo Russell became public.

Scott declined to address any details about another embarrassment for the Western Conference's worst team after their shootaround for Wednesday's game against Miami.

Russell apparently recorded a video in which he asked Young about being with women other than his fiancée, rapper Iggy Azalea. The video began circulating online in the past week.

ESPN.com reported Tuesday that the breach of locker room protocol has driven a wedge between several Lakers and Russell, the No. 2 overall pick in last year's draft.

Russell declined to speak to reporters at the shootaround. Russell and Young will address the media before Wednesday night's game, the Lakers say.
