Lakers Investigating Sexual Harassment Claims Against Nick Young & Teammate

The Lakers are investigating a claims that Nick Young and Jordan Clarkson sexually harrassed a woman and her mother while they were driving around L.A. on Sunday night. Alexis Jones told The Los Angeles Times that she and her mother were at the intersection of La Brea and Melrose avenues when a car stopped next to them grabbed their attention.

Jones claims that a car driven by Young stopped next to her, and she says that the men inside began making obscene gestures towards herself and her mother. She told The Times, "We just kind of heard loud noises and I just thought it was boys being boys, being loud. They were kind of reaching out of the car. So my mom said, 'Oh my god' and I looked up and they were making very vulgar sexual explicit motions to my mom. My mom is a 68-year-old grandmother. It just totally shocked me and caught me off guard. My mom started bawling. It was a really scary, unfortunate situation and I got really angry."

Jones uploaded a clear photo of Young and Clarkson on her Instagram, asking followers to identify the athletes. She is the co-founder of I AM THAT GIRL, a non-profit that helps empower girls, and Jones said she is currently working with the NBA to adopt one of her programs. 

Lakers publicist John Black commented on the situation, saying, "We take the allegation seriously and are continuing to look into it. Until we get all the facts from all the parties involved, it's not appropriate for us to comment."

Nick Young commented on the situation via Twitter, "Aye if you want some attention take a pic of me and say anything next to it and post ... The world we live in."
