NBA's Nick Young -- Strikes Settlement with Rape Accuser

Another Lakers star, another settlement in a high profile rape case ... with Nick Young reaching an agreement with his accuser -- exactly 10 years after Kobe Bryant settled with his.

As we previously reported, Iggy Azalea's fiance was sued by a woman who claims Swaggy slipped a date rape drug in her drink at a Hollywood bar in 2011 ... and then raped her back at his place.

The woman claimed she went to the UCLA Santa Monica Rape Treatment Center following the incident -- and an exam proved she had injuries consistent with rape.

The accuser demanded $3 MILLION to make the case go away -- but Nick refused to settle for years.

But now we've learned the two sides did work out a deal and the case has been dismissed. The terms of the settlement are confidential.
