Los Angeles Lakers star Nick Young has a small fracture in his left kneecap and will be re-evaluated on a weekly basis.
It is understood that the fracture will heal itself and doesn't require surgery, but Young will have to rest and it is not yet clear if he will be able to play again this season.
Young has missed the last 11 games with the issue, last featuring in the 118-111 overtime win over the Boston Celtics on February 22.
"Nothing," Lakers coach Byron Scott said when asked what Young was able to do at practice, ESPN reports.
"He signed some autographs, went back in and got some treatment and that was about it."
Young is averaging 13.4 points and 2.3 rebounds per game this season, and has played an average of 23.8 minutes in 42 games.
