Los Angeles Lakers coach Byron Scott has come forward to speak out on player Nick Young‘s publicized leaked private conversation footage and its impact.

According to Scott, he has fallen back on Young’s playing time due to not being mentally with the team.

He said it “has everything to do with basketball,” as well as Young’s not being mentally present with the team, given the recent drama in his personal life. “It has nothing to do with the chemistry,” Scott said at practice Monday. “It has everything to do with just basketball. Right now, I know what he’s going through, and I know it’s hard on him. But he’s not here with us, mentally, and there’s no need for me to put him out there on the floor.” (ESPN)

Cameras spotted Nick’s fiancée Iggy Azalea sporting his engagement ring a few nights ago.

Iggy posed for photogs Sunday night in L.A. with her right hand in her pocket, but made sure her left — weighted down with that massive yellow diamond ring Nick gave her — was fully exposed. The 10 carats on Iggy’s hand are a very good sign for Nick. (TMZ)

Last week, Iggy spoke out on a publicized leaked video of Young coming out at the hands of his teammate D’Angelo Russell.

Reports claimed Young had not accepted Russell’s apology for leaking a private conversation about cheating with other women last week.

“I think it’s best that me and D’Angelo handle the situation we have in a private manner outside the media,” Young said. “I think it’s something we really do need to sit down and talk about. That’s about it. What happened is what happened. We’ve got to work on it.” (ESPN)
