Young had 16 points (8-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt), and 10 rebounds in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 104-89 preseason loss to the Bulls.
Impact
Young made his preseason debut Wednesday, returning from a foot injury to record a double-double in the loss. Young is in a precarious position heading into the season with the continuing emergence of Domantas Sabonis. He is likely going to see his minutes take a bump in the wrong direction which will, in turn, have a negative impact on his fantasy production. He is still a nice late-round target with upside in steals and field-goal percentage but owners should just temper their expectations.
Young (foot) will start Wednesday's game against the Bulls.
Impact
It was confirmed earlier in the day that Young would play, so the news here is that Young is starting. Wednesday marks Young's preseason debut, as he had been sidelined with a bruised foot previously.
Young (foot) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's preseason game against the Bulls.
Impact
Young is yet to take the floor this preseason, but it looks like there is at least a chance the veteran could return for Tuesday's contest. It's Young' last opportunity before the start of the regular season, so if he is ultimately held out, his status for the Pacers' season opener against the Grizzlies on Oct. 17 suddenly comes into question.
Young (foot) has been ruled out for Monday's preseason game against the Cavaliers.
Impact
Young has yet to see any action during the preseason, as he continues to work his way through a bone bruise in his foot. The Pacers close out the exhibition schedule Wednesday against the Bulls, so that will be Young's last opportunity for a tune-up prior to the regular season opener Oct. 17 against the Grizzlies. At this point, it's unclear if Young is even expected to be ready for the opener considering the Pacers haven't provided any sort of timetable for his return.
Young (foot) is out for Saturday's preseason game against the Grizzlies.
Impact
A bone bruise has kept Young from practicing, so it's no surprise he'll be held out of Saturday's action. Considering there's no timetable for his return, he should be considered day-to-day, but it's possible the injury bleeds into the start of the regular season. In that scenario, Domantas Sabonis, Doug McDermott and Kyle O'Quinn are strong candidates to see expanded roles.
Young (foot) is out for Thursday's preseason contest against the Rockets, J. Michael of IndyStar Sports reports.
Impact
Young has a bone bruise in his foot, which has prevented him from practicing. There's no reason to rush the veteran back into a game before he's practiced, so he'll sit out Thursday's exhibition opener. T.J Leaf will draw the start at power forward.
Young is dealing with a bone bruise in his right foot and has yet to practice, Scott Agness of Vigilant Sports reports.
Impact
The Pacers open up the preseason Thursday against the Rockets and at this point, it seems highly unlikely that Young takes the floor. The big man still hopes to get in some action during the preseason, but the Pacers aren't guaranteeing anything on that front and there's certainly a chance they hold him out of the exhibition schedule entirely. Still, it will be worth it to keep an eye on Young's status later this week to see if he's able to slowly work his way back into practice. The Pacers open up the regular season in just over two weeks against the Grizzlies on Oct. 17.
Young said Monday that he hopes to work out a deal to remain with the Pacers beyond this season, J. Michael of the Indy Star reports.
Impact
Young opted into the final year of his contract at just shy of $14 million this season, and he said at Monday's media day that he hopes to remain with the Pacers long-term. Young will begin his third season in Indiana, where he's started all 155 games in which he's played over the last two seasons. The expectation once again is that he'll serve as the regular starter at power forward as he enters his age-30 campaign. In 2017-18, Young appeared in 81 contests and posted averages of 11.8 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.7 steals per game.
Young has exercised his $13.7 million player option to remain with the Pacers, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Impact
Young started all 81 games he appeared in last season, seeing 32.2 minutes per tilt. The power forward, who turned 30 years old earlier this month, had his worst year from the field (48.7 percent) since 2014-15. However, he continued his quality defense, averaging 1.7 steals. Unless Pacers management makes significant offseason moves, Young will likely be a full-time starter and solid fantasy commodity again next season.
