Nick Young has been ruled out of Thursday night's Los Angeles Lakers game against the Chicago Bulls, his second straight game on the sidelines with a sprained ankle.

Young hurt the right ankle at practice Monday and was set to meet with a specialist Tuesday. He then missed that night's game against the Washington Wizards.

With Kobe Bryant out of commission and Young sidelined, Wayne Ellington and Jordan Clarkson stepped up against the Wizards, combining for 46 points in a 98-92 loss.
