Swaggy P Throws an Elbow at Steven Adams, Misses, Throws Another One

Nick Young

If there’s one thing we know about Lakers’ Nick Young it’s that he misses a lot more than he hits.

That doesn’t just apply to shooting.

Swaggy P took offense to Steven Adams’ getting in his face on a screen and attempted to throw an elbow at the Thunder big man.

He missed.

Then he threw another one, hit Adams in the throat, and got ejected following a flagrant-2.

After the game, Young blamed Adams for the altercation, calling him a “dirty” player.

Per ESPN:

“I got caught up in the moment, but Adams is a sneaky, dirty player. It happens, it’s a part of the game…. He did that last year to me, I got to take on the same person. It’s not my first rodeo with him. He starts talking the whole game, but, I didn’t think I was going to get ejected.”
