LOS ANGELES: Los Angeles Lakers guard Nick Young has a small fracture in his left knee cap that could sideline him for the last four weeks of the NBA season.
The Lakers said a CT scan showed the break, which is expected to heal without surgery.
The team said he would be re-evaluated on a weekly basis, but with just four weeks left in what has been a dismal season for the Lakers, it wasn't clear if he would play again in this campaign.
Young had already missed the Lakers' last 11 games.
On Wednesday, his knee injury attracted even less attention than his new hairdo -- shaved on the sides of his head with a crown of short, tight-curling and twisting locks.
"It looks like a bunch of worms," Lakers coach Byron Scott said. "When I first saw him, I just started cracking up laughing. I said, 'You must have lost a bet.' "
Young said the smooth-domed Scott just couldn't appreciate the style.
"People with no hair wouldn't understand," Young said. "I would be mad at somebody that had hair, if I didn't have hair."
