Analysis:

An upset stomach prevented Young from playing in Wednesday's blowout loss to the Thunder, but he was able to return to practice Thursday, which suggests the worst of the illness is behind him. Over his last five games, Young is averaging 8.6 points on 37.2 percent shooting while coming off the Lakers' bench.
