As of October 3rd, Los Angeles Lakers guard Nick Young torn
a ligament in his right thumb. Renowned
as Laker's leading scorer last season, averaging 17.9 points per game,
entertained Laker fans during their worst season in a while. He signed a 4-year contract with the Lakers
for 21.5 mil in July.
While injured, Young still participated in practices but
only worked on legs. His coach, Byron
Scott said, "When you hurt your hand, your feet are still okay and your
legs are okay. He can still do all the stuff we can do conditioning wise. It
doesn’t have anything to do with a basketball in his hand."
Young is scheduled to have surgery on his thumb Monday. He injured his thumb trying to steal the ball
from Kobe Bryant during a practice.
Young was expected to play a big part in this season, but
with Nick Young on the bench, who would step up as the season approaches? Newly
signed Jeremy Lin or 36 years old Kobe Bryant?
