Young (knee) will not play Wednesday against the Jazz, Tony Jones of the Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Swelling emerged in Young's knee after Sundays' win over the Celtics, and while an MRI came back negative, he'll be held out of Wednesday's game. With Ronnie Price (elbow) also out, the Lakers will be shorthanded in the backcourt, so Jeremy Lin should see increased minutes. Jordan Clarkson and Wayne Ellington are both attractive daily plays, as well.
