NBA Players Nick Young and Jordan Clarkson, both currently playing for playoff eliminated team Los Angeles Lakers, are reportedly being accused of sexual harassment by two women in an incident that took place in Hollywood on Sunday night.

RealGM reported that the Lakers "are investigating allegations" that Young and Clarkson sexually harassed author and women empowerment activist Alexis Jones and her mother "Sunday night in Hollywood".

The incident said to have happened at around 7:30 pm when the two women were driving home after dinner and Young and Clarkson's group allegedly "pulled up alongside" their vehicle close to the intersection of La Brea and Melrose avenues in Hollywood.

Aboard a "Jeep", Jones said the group that included both NBA stars said to have made "vulgar, sexual" gestures toward her mother.

"She was super rattled. That's the truth. It scared her," said Jones, via ESPN. "We were in a small car, and they were in a big Jeep, and it was a bunch of big dudes. They're leaning out of the car and making vulgar, sexual gestures. My mom was really shocked. That immediately turned into sobbing."

Jones posted a collage picture in social media showing the faces of Young and Clarkson, but it is not immediately comprehensible if the allegations are true or not.

"The irony is I created a program called 'ProtectHer' out of the urgency to address sexual abuse in athletics, and I was on phone calls with the NBA as of Friday talking with them about integrating this message and this program into the NBA," Jones added.

John Black, a spokesman for the Lakers, reportedly said that the team is taking the incident "very seriously" and is said to have reached out to Jones already.

The investigation is still ongoing although Jones has not personally met with either Young or Clarkson to discuss the matter as initially planned by both parties.
