Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge confirmed Thursday that Young will play for the Celtics' summer league team, Scott Souza of MetroWest Daily reports. The rookie out of Kentucky saw time in only 31 games for the Celtics this season, spending time in the D-League in what was mostly a developmental rookie year. One of the better shooters in the 2014 draft class, Young figures to have a future with the team, and summer league will be an opportunity for him to showcase his improvement. The Celtics will field a team for both the Las Vegas Summer League and the Rocky Mountain Revue league in Salt Lake City.

Young appeared in 31 games during his rookie season with Boston, averaging 11 minutes, 3.4 points, 1.4 rebounds and 0.5 made threes per game. The 19 year old rookie had a bumpy season with Boston, occasionally being assigned to the D-League to get more playing time. When drafted last summer from Kentucky, it was widely known he was a work in progress. The Celtics could use more outside shooting, so if Young can demonstrate improvement during Summer League action, his role with Boston could expand.

Young was reassigned to the NBA's D-League on Tuesday, Jay King of MassLive.com reports. Young has gone back and forth throughout his rookie season, and while he's spent most of his time with the NBA squad, he's only averaging 10.3 minutes in 30 appearances. He'll be worth keeping an eye on during summer league action, assuming he plays.

Young was recalled from Maine of the NBA's D-League on Saturday, the Celtics' official site reports. After his recent assignment with the Red Claws, Young now boasts averages of 22.4 points (on 49 percent shooting), 4.9 rebounds, 4.2 three-pointers, two assists, and 1.5 steals in 33 minutes across 11 games. With Marcus Smart (suspension) and Isaiah Thomas (back) out of the lineup, Young should garner some decent run on the wing Sunday against the Hornets.

Young was assigned to the D-League on Tuesday, NBA.com reports. Young has already played nine games for the Red Claws this season, posting averages of 23.6 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.2 assists in just under 34 minutes per game.

Young came off the bench for 18 minutes in Friday's game against the Kings. He finished with four points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-5 FT), two rebounds, and one steal.The rookie has picked up some steam in February but still doesn't see enough time on the court to make him a viable option in standard leagues. Unless something unfortunate happens to Avery Bradley or Marcus Smart, Young will likely stay in a limited role off the bench under coach Brad Stevens for the remainder of the season.

Young enters the All-Star break needing one of Boston's veterans to be dealt for him to see consistent playing time.Tayshaun Prince and Marcus Thornton are possible candidates to be moved by Boston before the February 19th trade deadline. Young saw somewhat consistent playing time recently when Prince missed four games due to injury. Moving veterans would enable the struggling Celtics to develop their "Young" talent for the future.

Young has been recalled from the D-League to the Celtics. Young has spent this season shuffling between the NBA and D-League, which should continue as the season progresses.

Young was assigned Saturday to the Maine Red Claws of the D-League. The back-and-forth between the Celtics and the D-League continues for Young, who has yet to become a significant part of the rotation during his rookie season. Look for him to be back in Boston soon enough.

Young (illness) was active for Friday's game against the Nuggets, but didn't get into the game, earning a DNP - Coach's Decision. Young hasn't played in three straight games now. The 19-year-old is clearly slowly moving into a role with the Celtics, but has only received sparse playing time. He's appeared in only five games this month, and averages 4.9 points, 1.0 rebounds and 0.4 assists per game.
