Report: Lakers' Young held exploding firework
LOS ANGELES — It looks like Lakers guard Nick Young hasn’t learned much about fireworks safety from New York Giants defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul.
TMZ Sports posted a Snapchat video of Young holding up a firework in his hand as it explodes. TMZ said the video was taken at a Fourth of July party and Young wasn’t injured. The Lakers and Young’s agent haven’t responded to requests for comment.
Pierre-Paul is featured in a public service announcement produced by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission about fireworks safety released last week. He shows off his mangled right hand in the video. Part of Pierre-Paul’s hand had to be amputated last year following a fireworks accident.
