Once the 2014-15 NBA season was officially over for the Los Angeles Lakers, a rumor started to circulate about Nick Young’s future with the team. Apparently, according to the rumor, the team will explore options to trade the veteran journeyman during the offseason.
— Have you seen the ‘Lakers Nation’ phone case? —
Although Young’s future in Los Angeles remains uncertain, the 29-year-old isn’t letting the rumor bother him or at least that’s how it appeared at a local gym recently.
Young was seen a local gym playing some pick-up basketball. Not only was Young back on the court after dealing with a nagging knee injury toward the end of the regular season, but for some reason he was wearing a ski mask while playing, via Twitter:

Why is Young wearing a ski mask to play some pick-up basketball?
Who knows, but here’s a closer look at what he sporting, via Twitter:

With the Lakers looking to make some major changes to the roster this summer, there’s no telling where Young might end up before next season. The veteran guard/forward still has some value and may be a tradable asset, but it isn’t set in stone that the Lakers will actually pursue a trade.
In the meantime, expect more of the same from Young throughout the offseason until his fate with the team is determined.
