Head coach Nick Nurse said Young (knee) is healthy and will be available Thursday versus the Pelicans, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nurse previously said he expected Young to be available, but the veteran forward was still initially listed as questionable due to a left knee sprain he suffered in the team's final contest before the All-Star break. However, Young has officially been given the green light and should garner his usual backup role Thursday. Over his last five appearances, Young is averaging 5.6 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.6 steals in 18.0 minutes.

Young (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Thursday's matchup against the Pelicans, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Head coach Nick Nurse said earlier in the week that Young is expected to play Thursday, but the forward's status is apparently still in question. Before suffering a left knee sprain during Toronto's final game before the All-Star break, Young had averaged 5.6 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.6 steals in 18.0 minutes across his previous five appearances.

EDGE Analysis
Young returned to practice Tuesday after suffering a left knee sprain in the team's final game before the All-Star break. The veteran forward is averaging 5.6 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.6 steals in 18.0 minutes across his previous five outings.

Young suffered a left knee strain and will not return Tuesday against Orlando, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran forward finished with four points and one steal in seven minutes. The Raptors are off until Feb. 23, but it remains to be seen if Young will recover in time for that one. If he doesn't, Chris Boucher will likely see a slight bump in fantasy value off the bench.

Young ended with eight points (4-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and two steals across 24 minutes during Saturday's 106-104 loss to Boston.
EDGE Analysis
Young made the most of his chances off the bench by shooting 66.7 percent from the field. He also saw a sizeable uptick in playing time with OG Anunoby (ankle) exiting the contest early. Young isn't an enticing option for fantasy managers at this time, as he's averaging 3.6 points and 2.8 boards through five January appearances.

Young will come off the bench Friday versus the Nets, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Young had started eight straight games for the Raptors, but his output in two of the last three left much to be desired. He'll appear off the bench Friday as a result, ceding his spot in the starting unit to Christian Koloko.

Young recorded 18 points (9-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt), nine rebounds, four assists and four steals across 35 minutes during Saturday's 124-122 overtime loss to the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
Young made the most of his opportunities from the field and fell just one rebound shy of his first double-double. The Georgia Tech product has started each of his team's last four matchups due to numerous injuries to Toronto's frontcourt, and he's scored in double figures in three of the four starts.

Young posted 12 points (6-9 FG), eight rebounds and two assists over 28 minutes during Wednesday's 112-104 victory over the Heat.
EDGE Analysis
Young had started his team's last two contests heading into Wednesday, but he was just as effective off the bench in this one. He shot with efficiency from the field and missed his first double-double of the season by two rebounds. Young seems unlikely to provide this type of production going forward, however, as he's scored in double figures just twice through 13 games.
