Pacers' Thaddeus Young: Out Friday vs. Wizards

Young (wrist) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Wizards.

Analysis:

Though the Pacers haven't indicated as much, Young also figures to miss the second half of the back-to-back set Saturday against the Bucks while he continues to recover from the sprained left wrist. Look for Lavoy Allen -- who has averaged 8.7 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.0 steal and 1.0 block in 28.3 minutes per game in the last three contests -- to stick as the starting power forward for as long as Young is out.
