D'Angelo Russell apologized a day after posting Nick Young's, 30 years old, video that made his teammates unhappy.

"I am sorry about recording the video," Russell told The Vertical. "I can't repeat myself enough on that. I am sorry I recorded that video. I feel horrible. I wish this never happened." in an interview with Yahoo Sports.

Russell, 20, said sorry to Young for this happening.

"He heard me out," Russell told The Vertical. "I cherish our friendship on and off the court. ... I never meant to hurt anyone."

D’Angelo Russell recorded a private talk between himself and Nick Young. Russell asked Young about being with other women recently.

In a video, Young is talking about "hooking up with a 19-year-old and not getting together with Amber Rose because 'she knows my girl.'" Young seem to be not aware of the fact that he was being recorded by Russell.

The "girl" he was referring to is his engaged fiance, pop singer Iggy Azalea from Australia, who reacted to the drama on Twitter:

Before the Lakers' match against the heat Young said ""What happened is what happened," Young said. "We have to work on it."

The video was recorded months ago, according to The Vertical, and Russell said he is not sure how it became public all of a sudden.

"Honestly, I have no idea," he told The Vertical. "Me and Nick, that's our friendship. We play around a lot. Anyone who knows him and knows me, they know that about us. But I apologize for recording that video. I never intentionally wanted to hurt anyone. I never wanted what was said in there to get out. It was my fault that it did, but that was never intentional.

"The thing is, we record ourselves doing dumb stuff all the time. On the road or home, wherever. We go back and watch what we did and said and laugh at ourselves. I guess I just never thought that these pranks we pull on ourselves could have bigger consequences. That was a big lesson I learned.

"I've said to myself over and over: What could anyone possibly gain by intentionally doing something that could hurt someone else's relationship? I never wanted to hurt anyone. I'm sorry for it."

This whole incident is not helping Russell in any aspect and teammates are avoiding him for his immaturity.

The 20-year-old guard lately ate at a table by himself during a breakfast meeting because everyone didn't want to sit next to him. Lou Williams is said to be especially unhappy with Russell.

In the meantime, Iggy Azalea reacted saying by tweeting "Hmmm i see D Angelo Russell is trending... I actually liked his film. Thanks bro," on Wednesday.

D'Angelo Russell played college basketball for the Ohio State Buckeyes before being selected with the second overall pick in the 2015 NBA draft by the Lakers.
