Young is listed as probable as of this story’s writing. His final injury stats will unquestionably go a long way towards determining the outcome of the game.

The 26-year-old is averaging 21 points per outing on 38.4 percent field goal and 30.8 percent three-point shooting. He has not been incredibly efficient with his scoring, but Young is recording a league leading 12.2 assists per game.
