Lakers' Nick Young: Full participant at practice

Young (illness) was a full participant in practice Monday.

Analysis:

The flu bug appears to be behind Young after he missed Sunday's loss to the Cavaliers with the illness. It sounds like he'll be available Tuesday against the Clippers barring any setbacks, but Young will have to settle for bench duties with coach Luke Walton deciding to stick with D'Angelo Russell as the starting shooting guard for a second straight game after Russell exploded for a career-high 40 points Sunday. As a result, it may be difficult for Young to see more than 20 minutes Tuesday, if he's not held out of the rotation entirely.
