LOS ANGELES -- It looks like Los Angeles Lakers guard Nick Young hasn't learned much about fireworks safety from New York Giants defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul.

TMZ Sports has posted a Snapchat video of Young holding up a firework in his hand as it explodes. TMZ says the video was taken at a Fourth of July party, and that Young wasn't injured.

The Lakers say they have no comment on it. Young's agent hasn't responded to a request for comment.

Pierre-Paul was featured in a public service announcement produced by the federal 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.
