Lakers' Nick Young: To start Sunday against Hawks

Young (toe) will return to the starting lineup at shooting guard for Sunday's game against the Hawks, Mark Medina of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Analysis:

After picking up a sprained toe in Wednesday's loss to the Warriors, Young ended up being held out of the rematch with Golden State on Friday, marking his first absence of the season. However, after practicing Saturday without incident and taking part in shootaround Sunday, Young will take back his usual spot on the top unit, with Jordan Clarkson heading back to the bench. Young shouldn't face a minutes limit in his return.
