Following the Nick Young video leakage, we now see that D’Angelo Russell has apologized for secretly recording his teammate. It has been reported that this incident has caused such a separation between Russell and the rest of the team.
Angelo says that he is sorry and feels sick about what he has done.
“I feel as sick as possible. Been asked 110 times and my answer and feeling stay same.”
He goes on to say if he had the chance, he would definitely do things differently. Russell says he feels like he damaged Nick Young’s personal life. Im pretty sure this will put a dent in the relationship between Nick and fiancee Iggy Azalea. Iggy even took to Twitter today to thank Russell for recording the video.
“Honestly, I do. I’ve always been known as a guy that plays around a lot and he has been too. To be around somebody that’s similar with the same similar characteristics is different. He’s one of the guys that I’ve always talked to about anything and I cherished our friendship. For me to have an incident like this come up and put it in jeopardy is not what I was intending to do.”
He says he is not sure if Nick Young accepts his apology, but he did reach out.
“I reached out to [Young], let him know my apologies. I don’t know if they were accepted. I wouldn’t blame him.”
As Nick Young said, it is best if these two handle the situation in private without the heat from the media. Check out what Russell’s full statement here.
