Nick Young plays pickup ball while wearing a mask (VIDEO)

It might be the offseason for most teams in the NBA, but late May and early June is a serious time for the Los Angeles Lakers. Missing the playoffs for two consecutive seasons is simply unacceptable for such a storied team, and that failure demands solutions. It's time for Julius Randle to get locked in on his rehabilitation (check), for Kobe Bryant to stop in for a visit to check on the potential prospects (check) and for Nick Young to ... play pickup basketball with some kind of mask on?

Check, apparently, as this Twitter video seems to capture Young getting a bucket and celebrating with some sort of head covering on. 

We can't definitively say that's a recent video, of course. And we're not 100 percent sure that's regulation, so he's probably not exactly training for next season, unless this is some kind of new heat immersion program that Kobe taught him. We're leaning toward that not being it, however, and this instead being just another instance of Swaggy P.
