Young (hamstring) is not experiencing pain after Monday's practice and is expected to play Wednesday against the Nets.

Analysis:

The rookie missed two weeks with a strained hamstring but returned to the practice floor Monday. While he's not yet 100 percent, he said he's "definitely in the 90s," so Young should be close to, if not fully, healthy when the regular season opens next Wednesday. The Kentucky product will see time at both shooting guard and small forward this season, but he's currently stuck behind veterans Jeff Green, Evan Turner, Gerald Wallace and Avery Bradley on the depth chart.
