Young (hamstring) is not experiencing pain after Monday's practice and is expected to play Wednesday against the Nets. The rookie missed two weeks with a strained hamstring but returned to the practice floor Monday. While he's not yet 100 percent, he said he's "definitely in the 90s," so Young should be close to, if not fully, healthy when the regular season opens next Wednesday. The Kentucky product will see time at both shooting guard and small forward this season, but he's currently stuck behind veterans Jeff Green, Evan Turner, Gerald Wallace and Avery Bradley on the depth chart.

Young (hamstring) will not play in Sunday's preseason game. It was widely suspected that Young would be held out of Sunday's game and that indeed came to fruition as he continues to deal with a strained left hamstring. His next opportunity to play will be against the Nets on Wednesday.

Young (hamstring) will likely miss Sunday's game against Brooklyn according to coach Brad Stevens. Young strained his hamstring injury earlier in October and was considered week-to-week. The fact that coach Brad Stevens hasn't completely ruled him out marks likely indicates he is finally nearing a return. The 19-year-old hopes to stick with the Celtics this season, but will have a lot of work to do after missing multiple weeks in training camp.

Young is considered "week-to-week" due to a left hamstring injury. Young will not play in Wednesday's preseason game versus the Knicks and apparently could miss a chunk of time leading up to this season. As a result, the 19-year-old may find himself playing catch-up once he's able to return, although tough competition from players like Avery Bradley, Evan Turner, and Marcus Thornton was always expected to impact Young's minutes during his rookie season.

Young is out for Wednesday's preseason game against the Knicks. It's not clear why the Celtics will hold out the rookie wing, but it could just be to take a longer look at other players at the position. He was a nice value for the Celtics in the latter half of the first round, but don't expect him to have significant fantasy production during his rookie season.

Young does not anticipate spending time in the D-League this season, Ben Rohrback of WEEI.com reports. At the team's media day Monday, Young was asked if he envisions himself spending time in the D-League as a rookie. "Definitely not," the Kentucky product responded. While the choice won't ultimately be up to Young, it's difficult to speculate where he'll fit into the backcourt rotation as a rookie. Avery Bradley, Marcus Smart, Evan Turner and Marcus Thornton currently project ahead of him on the depth chart at shooting guard, but Young's size may allow him to slide over to small forward. Regardless, he'll need to prove he's capable of handling a consistent role in the NBA, or the team could opt to send him to the D-League, where he would see starter's minutes on a nightly basis, albeit against much weaker competition.

Celtics rookie James Young (concussion) said that he's "good to go" after missing the entirety of Summer League. Young suffered whiplash and a minor concussion in a car accident shortly before the draft, but it was never considered serious and his absence in Summer League was mostly a precaution. The 18-year-old swingman was inefficient with Kentucky (40.7 percent shooting) and he'll need a while to adapt to the NBA. With Jeff Green and Avery Bradley locked into the starting lineup, fantasy owners should watch Young develop from afar.

Danny Ainge has ruled out rookie James Young (neck) for the remainder of the Summer League. "He'll be fine in a couple of weeks. Maybe a week," said Ainge. Young was involved in a car accident last week that gave him whiplash and concussion-like symptoms. This is just the team playing it safe with one of their lottery picks and not much should be read into this. Young should be fine heading into training camp.

James Young (neck) is unlikely to play in Monday's game in Orlando vs. the Pacers. He was in a car accident last week and it's caused him some neck pain. The injury is not too serious and he is still with the team. Young has been able to do some light shooting while at practice, but he may miss the entire summer league. He's not worth drafting in standard leagues.

James Young (strained neck) isn't practicing and the Celtics will soon decide whether to rest him for the duration of the Orlando Pro Summer League. The injury stems from a minor car accident he had a few weeks ago, but the Celtics have downplayed the severity of the injury. Young is a versatile swingman who played impressive defense while at Kentucky, and he should be able to carve out minutes at SG and SF as an NBA rookie.
