Young scored 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt) to go along with one rebound in 18 minutes Monday against the Hornets.
Young was recalled from the D-League Monday and saw more minutes than was likely expected due to the Celtics getting down big in this game early. Don't expect Young to be a significant fantasy contributor.

Young was recalled from the D-League on Monday.
This last trip to the Maine Red Claws was not Young's first, nor will it be his last, as the Celtics have sent Young for occasional D-League appearances throughout the season. His lack of permanence on the NBA roster speaks to his lack of fantasy value in most formats.

Young was sent back to the D-League on Saturday.
He continues to go back and forth between the Celtics and the Maine Red Claws of the D-League, which limits his fantasy value to dynasty leagues.

Young has been assigned to the Development League, A. Sherrod Blakely of Comcast SportsNet reports.
Young has already been sent down and called up from the Maine Red Claws several times this year, so expect that dance to continue going forward. He will be recalled to the NBA soon, but Young will ride the bench during those games unless significant injuries force him into the lineup.

Young has been recalled to Boston from the D-League Maine Red Claws.
Young was stellar in his only game with Maine, a last-second loss where Young scored 15 points on 6-of-13 shooting. The rookie also had a +/- of 14, highest on the team by 11 points. The Celtics apparently liked what they saw enough to put him back the NBA roster after one game. Going forward, Young figures to stay low in the depth chart at shooting guard and small forward, but the Celtics wouldn't have called him up if they didn't plan to give him the minutes needed to develop.

Young has been assigned to the D-League Maine Red Claws, the team announced.
The purpose of this is to give Young enough playing time to get up to NBA speed after his shoulder injury. The rookie hasn't played since a two-minute appearance Dec. 5th, so any game time is good game time for him. Strong play in Maine could lead to real minutes in Boston, but that will require time and some things to break right for Young.

Young is healthy but will remain on the inactive list for now, according to coach Brad Stevens.
Young had been dealing with a shoulder issue, but Stevens indicated that the rookie guard is now healthy. However, he'll remain out of the rotation for the time being and is a candidate to return to the D-League at some point. The 17th overall pick in the 2014 draft, Young has not played since Dec. 5 and has seen time in only five contests this season.

Young (shoulder) will be available for Tuesday's game against the Magic.
Young hasn't played in more than two weeks as he rehabs a shoulder injury, but coach Brad Stevens confirmed that the rookie will be an option off the bench Tuesday. Young, who was selected with the 17th overall pick, has appeared in only five games while spending multiple stints with the D-League's Maine Red Claws.
