Last week, a video of Nick Young admitting to cheating on Iggy Azalea with a 19-year-old made its way onto the Internet via celebrity gossip site Fameolous.

The video was taken by Lakers rookie D’Angelo Russell who apparently leaked it online to “prank” Swaggy P and his Laker teammates aren’t too thrilled about the whole thing.

Sources told ESPN.com that some teammates’ trust in Russell is eroding after a video surfaced in the past week that shows Russell recording a private conversation between himself and teammate Nick Young. Young does not appear to realize he is being taped.
Said one team insider: “This was a prank gone wrong and a mistake by [Russell], and he has to be held accountable, but I would hope he isn’t overly criticized for it.”
The emergence of the video, sources said, has been the talk of the locker room for the past several days and has led to a tangible strain between Russell and some teammates.
At a recent breakfast meeting, one source said, no Laker would sit with Russell at his table. The source added that, in another instance, Russell came into the locker room and sat next to guard Lou Williams, who got up and walked away.
“It’s bad,” one team source told ESPN.com’s Ramona Shelburne. “It’s about as bad as it can get. There were trust issues already. Now there’s no trust.
I’m not sure what Russell was thinking but he’s still young and has a lot of growing up to do.
