Perhaps it's only fitting that soon after Nick Young's relationship to Iggy Azalea reached its ending, D'Angelo Russell is now also single.
Russell played an instrumental role in the problems between Young and Azalea -- though clearly "Swaggy P" deserves full blame for the relationship coming to an end. Young's infidelity toward his former fiancee came to light because he admitted to cheating on her while unknowingly being recorded by Russell.
The incident sent shockwaves through the Lakers' locker room and reportedly damaged the relationship between the two teammates. Azalea later split up from Young when she looked at the security cameras in their home and discovered that he had girls over and cheated on her when she was away.
Now, Russell is also on the market.
Russell and his former girlfriend, Niki Withers, a college athlete, have called it quits and scrubbed each other from their social media sites.
"D'Angelo and Niki talked about where the relationship was going and decided mutually to break up," a source told TMZ Sports.
The couple was able to survive during the controversy between Russell and Young, with people going as far as accusing Withers of helping leak the video on social media.
Unlike Azalea and Young, there is said to be no bad blood between Russell and Withers as they just grew apart.
Pehraps now that they're both single, Young and Russell can concentrate on basketball and try to improve after the Lakers set another franchise low with 17 wins last season.
