Young didn't play in Tuesday's win over G League Lakeland due to a right shoulder contusion.
EDGE Analysis
Young handles a significant role when he's in the G League lineup, as he's averaged 27 minutes per game so far, translating into 14.1 points, 5.1 rebounds and 2.5 assists per contest. While the injury doesn't sound too serious, there's no clear timetable for his return.

Young recorded 20 points (6-15 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and an assist in Wednesday's 125-120 win over Fort Wayne.
EDGE Analysis
Young is on the fourth G League team of his career; he hasn't played an NBA game since the 2017-18 campaign. The 25-year-old immediately made a significant impact with the Knicks, finishing third in points despite hitting just 40 percent of his shots.

Young was waived by the Knicks on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old joined New York on an Exhibit 10 contract last week, but he was never expected to have a chance of making the NBA roster. However, the signing will allow the Knicks to retain Young's G League rights, so he'll likely end up reporting to the organizational affiliate in Westchester.

Young agreed to an Exhibit 10 contract with the Knicks on Tuesday, Mark Stein of The New York Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
New York also reached similar deals with Skal Labissiere and Andrew White, but it's unclear if any of the three players will actually join the NBA team for training camp. All three were signed for the purpose of the Knicks retaining their G League rights, so Young will eventually report to the Knicks' affiliate in Westchester once G League camps open.

EDGE Analysis

Young posted 25 points, five rebounds, one assists and two blocked shots in the loss Wednesday to the Drive.
EDGE Analysis
Young has seen a healthy share of the minutes since joining the Herd this offseason, averaging 34 across the first seven games. Wednesday's contest was no different in that regard, but Young's 25 points were easily one of his best outings of the young season.

Young signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Bucks on Tuesday, Bobby Marks of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
In signing an Exhibit 10 deal, Young can join the Bucks for training camp and can have his contract converted to a two-way deal prior to the regular season. The former first-round pick played 61 minutes with the 76ers last season, totaling 17 points, two rebounds and two assists. Considering he's yet to play more than 332 minutes in any of his first four seasons, he appears to be a longshot to make Milwaukee's final roster.
