Pacers' Thaddeus Young: Won't play Monday

Young (wrist) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Thunder, Nate Taylor of the Indianapolis Star reports.

Analysis:

Young left Friday's win over the Nets with the sprained right wrist and missed Saturday's victory over the Pistons, so Monday will mark his second straight absence. The forward's initial X-rays on the wrist came back negative, so he'll likely be evaluated on a game-to-game basis and may not necessarily be in store for a lengthy absence. Lavoy Allen, who tallied 18 points and 11 rebounds while filling in as the starting power forward Saturday, should get another turn with the top unit Monday.
