Nick Young's ailing left knee will keep the flamboyant swingman out of the lineup when the Los Angeles Lakers take on the Utah Jazz on Wednesday.
Young, who felt pain in the knee during Sunday's win over the Boston Celtics and experienced swelling on Monday, underwent an MRI, which came back negative.
Young has already dealt with thumb, ankle and foot injuries this season.
The 29-year-old is averaging 13.4 points in 42 games off the Lakers' bench, but he's done it on a career-worst effective field goal percentage of 45.3.
