According to coach Byron Scott, Young will travel with the Lakers during their upcoming three-game road trip, Mark Medina of the L.A. Daily News reports.

Analysis:

Young lost his spot in the Laker's rotation in early March, and hasn't played at all in the Laker's last 11 games. The team's younger players have taken over the backcourt, pushing Young farther down the bench. Scott recognized earlier that Young isn't mentally with the team due to his drama regarding D'Angelo Russell's secret recording of Young's confession to infidelity becoming public. Young isn't likely to play in this road trip due to this, as well as his declining statistics. Young is averaging 7.3 PPG, on 32.5 percent from behind the arc, and 33.9 percent from the field.
