Nick Young’s grudge against D’Angelo Russell dates back to the infamous incident in 2016 where Russell secretly recorded Young admitting infidelity to then-fiancée Iggy Azalea. Even years later, it seems Young hasn’t moved on.
Young has been out of the league for some time, while Russell recently wrapped up his second stint with the Los Angeles Lakers. Following the news of Russell being traded away, Young couldn’t resist taking a jab at his former teammate.
“AND STAY OUT… Dnt bring yo ass back to LA”

Though he didn’t explicitly mention Russell by name, it was clear from the context of the trade who Young was referring to.
Young has repeatedly aimed shots at Russell over the years, showing he’s not ready to let bygones be bygones. Russell, meanwhile, has kept a more low-key demeanor throughout and seems more focused on the court rather than revisiting past drama.
