Young (illness) is listed as active for Friday's game against the Nuggets, MassLive.com reports. The absence of Kelly Olynyk (ankle) will allow Young to remain active for this game, but since he hasn't been a consistent member of coach Brad Stevens' rotation this season, it wouldn't a surprise if he stays put on the bench all night. He's appeared in only 10 games this season, averaging merely 6.6 minutes.

Young (illness) was not active for Thursday's game against Portland. Young has been dealing with an illness of late, although he's rarely called into action anyways as he's only played in 10 games this season. His next opportunity to take the court will come against the Nuggets on Friday, but it's entirely possible that he'll stay on the bench even if he has returned to health.

Young (illness) is inactive for Monday's game against the Clippers. Young will miss his second straight game while battling the flu. Even if healthy, though, the rookie likely wouldn't play significant minutes. Consider him questionable to play Thursday in Portland.

Young will miss Friday's game with the flu. The Celtics are dealing with an illness that is making its way through the locker room, but Evan Turner and Jared Sullinger are both expected to fight through it Friday. Consider Young day-to-day.

Young came off the bench for seven minutes against the Pacers on Friday and amounted just one rebound during his short time on the court. Young is in a better spot after the Celtics traded away Jeff Green, although only minimally. Coach Brad Stevens has openly acknowledged that the rookie has work to do before he can be considered a daily option, but that may certainly manifest by the end of the season. As for now, Young will likely see limited minutes on the court and is still a heartbeat away from serving another stint in the D-League.

Young will be active for Friday's game against the Pacers as a result of the Pacers trading away Jeff Green and Brandan Wright, Sean Grande of Celtics.com reports. Even with the mass exodus in Boston, Young will likely still struggle to get on the court against the Pacers. Obviously things have changed in his favor, although coach Brad Stevens has openly acknowledged that the rookie is not quite ready to face NBA-level competition on a nightly basis.

Young will in fact be inactive for Friday's game against the Pacers, the Boston Herald reports. Young is not in the immediate plans of coach Brad Stevens and the rookie's value is suffering as a result. It would be somewhat surprising if Young wasn't relegated to another stint in the D-League to maintain his edge, in the event that Stevens were to change his mind on the 19-year-old at some point in the future.

Young will likely be a healthy inactive for Friday's game against the Pacers, Marc D'Amico of Celtics.com reports. Young seems to be out of favor with coach Brad Stevens as the skipper said Friday that he would most likely continue to keep Young off the court, despite being healthy. The rookie may see things change towards the end of the season, but as for now he's hardly getting any chances to take the court.

Young is inactive for Wednesday's game against the Nets. Despite scoring 13 points in 18 minutes Monday, Young will be one of the Celtics' inactives Wednesday. Coach Brad Stevens said it was a difficult call to make, but with Marcus Thornton back from injury, the rookie is simply the odd man out.

Young may be active for Wednesday's game against the Nets, Mark Murphy of the Boston Herald reports. Coach Brad Stevens said the rookie's status is up in the air and hinges upon a number of factors, including the progress of Marcus Thornton, who's a game-time call after missing the last 11 games. Young had his best game of the season Monday against Charlotte, scoring 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt) in 18 minutes. The performance may be a sign of things to come, though Young isn't likely to see enough minutes this season to make a true fantasy impact.
