Celtics' James Young: Cleared of illness

Young (illness) took part in morning shootaround and will presumably be available for Wednesday's game against the Raptors, Adam Himmelsbach of The Boston Globe reports.

Analysis:

An illness kept Young unavailable for Monday's 107-106 loss to the Rockets, but since that game was closely contested, he likely wouldn't have played anyway even if healthy. There's a good chance Young will be active Wednesday with the Celtics down Isaiah Thomas (groin), but it may take an absence to another one or two backcourt players before Young cracks coach Brad Stevens' rotation.
