On Wednesday, the Los Angeles Lakers announced that guard Nick Young suffered a small fracture of his knee cap, but the 29-year-old will not require surgery to solve the problem.
Already, Young had missed 11 games due to a swollen left knee, and so, the team sent him in for a CT scan on Monday. Results of the scan did not become available until Wednesday after the LA Lakers had completed practice. Young was present but did not take part in the session as he awaited results.
The team announced that Young will be re-evaluated on a weekly basis, but the small fracture is expected to heal on its own with rest.
Going back to practice for a moment, Young appeared with a new haircut that set the internet ablaze.

Perhaps, Lakers coach Byron Scott said it best when he said, "That's not a haircut. I don't know what that is. That's a lost bet or something."

While Young somehow manages to still draw attention off the court, fans would love to see his energetic play at some point over the final 16 games of the Lakers' season. For now, Young should be out at least another week.
