Thaddeus Young has been ruled out for the rest of the 2015-16 season.

Young has been ruled out for the rest of the 2015-16 season, Mike Mazzeo of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis:

The Nets have six games left on the schedule, but have decided to sit both Young and Brook Lopez for the rest of the season. They've been eliminated from the playoffs and without anything to play for, they don't want to risk any further strain on their veterans. Considering Young is not dealing with an injury, he should be good to go at the start of the 2016-17 season. With Young and Lopez out, look for Thomas Robinson and Henry Sims to see elevated roles.
