James Young: Sits out with injury
Young didn't play in Tuesday's win over G League Lakeland due to a right shoulder contusion.
Young handles a significant role when he's in the G League lineup, as he's averaged 27 minutes per game so far, translating into 14.1 points, 5.1 rebounds and 2.5 assists per contest. While the injury doesn't sound too serious, there's no clear timetable for his return.

James Young: Generates 20 points
Young recorded 20 points (6-15 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and an assist in Wednesday's 125-120 win over Fort Wayne.
Young is on the fourth G League team of his career; he hasn't played an NBA game since the 2017-18 campaign. The 25-year-old immediately made a significant impact with the G League Knicks, finishing third in points despite hitting just 40 percent of his shots.

James Young: Waived by New York
Young was waived by the Knicks on Wednesday.
The 25-year-old joined New York on an Exhibit 10 contract last week, but he was never expected to have a chance of making the NBA roster. However, the signing will allow the Knicks to retain Young's G League rights, so he'll likely end up reporting to the organizational affiliate in Westchester.

James Young: Bound for Westchester Knicks
Young agreed to an Exhibit 10 contract with the Knicks on Tuesday, Mark Stein of The New York Times reports.
New York also reached similar deals with Skal Labissiere and Andrew White, but it's unclear if any of the three players will actually join the NBA team for training camp. All three were signed for the purpose of the Knicks retaining their G League rights, so Young will eventually report to the Knicks' affiliate in Westchester once G League camps open.

Bucks' James Young: Joining Bucks for camp
Young signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Bucks on Tuesday, Bobby Marks of ESPN.com reports.
In signing an Exhibit 10 deal, Young can join the Bucks for training camp and can have his contract converted to a two-way deal prior to the regular season. The former first-round pick played 61 minutes with the 76ers last season, totaling 17 points, two rebounds and two assists. Considering he's yet to play more than 332 minutes in any of his first four seasons, he appears to be a longshot to make Milwaukee's final roster.

James Young: Waived by Sixers
Young was waived by the Sixers on Monday, Shams Charania of Yahoo! Sports reports.
Young joined the Sixers on a two-way contract back at the start of January and ended up playing in just six total games at the NBA level in Philadelphia. Most of his time was spent in the G-League with the Sixers' affiliate, where he averaged 20.7 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.5 steals across 39 games. Now that he's been waived, Young will look to field interest elsewhere in the league and could be a 10-day contract candidate for team's in need of depth on the wing. That said, no matter where he lands, he won't be a fantasy contributor.

76ers' James Young: Logs nine minutes in return to lineup
Young rejoined the 76ers for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies, posting two points (1-2 FG) and a turnover across nine minutes.
Young had been playing with the Sixers' G-League affiliate and had recently sat out a contest due to a knee injury. However, after being recalled to the big club and taking a few days off for rest and recovery, Young returned to the lineup Thursday and logged his first minutes with the Sixers since Jan. 29. With the G-League season ending over the weekend, Young will be eligible to remain on Philadelphia's roster for the rest of the season, though he's not going to see enough minutes to be a relevant fantasy option.

James Young: Out Friday
Young missed Friday's narrow 124-122 win over Greensboro due to a knee injury.
Young's knee injury was significant enough to keep him out of Friday's victory, but Delaware's next game is Friday which should allow him enough time to fully recover. The former Kentucky guard is contributing a fabulous 20.4 points and 5.1 rebounds this season for Delaware.

Young registered 21 points (6-12 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal during Thursday's win over Westchester.

76ers' James Young: Good to go Wednesday
Young (illness) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Bulls, Jessica Camerato of NBC Sports Philly reports.
Young was battling an illness at practice Tuesday, but he's moved past the ailment and will be an option for coach Brett Brown off the bench Wednesday. Since joining the Sixers earlier this month, Young has only appeared in one of five games, logging eight minutes in a blowout win over the Bucks on Jan. 20. Even so, he could have a chance to see increased minutes Wednesday with both T.J. McConnell (personal) and Jerryd Bayless (wrist) out of action.

76ers' James Young: Questionable with illness
Young is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bulls due to an illness, Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Young was picked up by the Sixers earlier this month and has appeared in only one game thus far, logging eight minutes in Saturday's blowout win over Milwaukee. If cleared to play Wednesday, the ex-G-Leaguer could see a few minutes off the bench in the event Jerryd Bayless (wrist) remains out, but Young is unlikely to be much of a fantasy consideration in Philadelphia, barring multiple backcourt injuries.

Young (undisclosed) is not on the 76ers' injury report for Saturday's contest against Milwaukee, Jessica Camerato of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Young has yet to play this season, so his place on the injury report Thursday didn't affect the team. That said, with Jerryd Bayless (wrist) and J.J. Redick (leg) both out, it seems possible that Young could see some run Saturday.
