Raj Mehta / USA TODAY Sports
The Los Angeles Lakers will be without Nick Young when they take on the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday night, as "Uncle Swag" is dealing with a bout of gastroenteritis.
Young's averaging nine points in 19.6 minutes for the 5-23 Lakers, while knocking down 37.3 percent of his five 3-point attempts per game. He's struggled badly this month, shooting just 37.5 percent from the field and 30.2 percent from deep in nine games.
He dropped 14 points against the Thunder on Saturday, when the Lakers lost by 40.
