Joseph Young

Joseph Young (knee) questionable Friday for Pacers

Indiana Pacers point guard Joseph Young (knee) is questionable for Friday's game versus the Charlotte Hornets.

What It Means:

The Pacers are calling it a bruised right knee, so it sounds like a minor injury. Ty Lawson isn't expected to join the team until Monday, and C.J. Miles (calf) has already been ruled out for Friday's game. Expect Rodney Stuckey to see an uptick in minutes off the bench.

Young owns a -1.3 nERD, which ranks 88th, in 33 games played this season and is averaging just 9.4 minutes per game. His per-36 minute averages are 15.5 points per game, 5.7 assists and 4.3 rebounds. His True Shooting Percentage is 46.5. If he's able to play Friday, we project Young to score 2.7 points, dish out 1.0 assists and grab 0.7 rebounds while shooting 40.7 percent from the field.
