Sam Young News: Young (ankle) was waived by the Pacers on Sunday, NBA.com reports.

Young (ankle) was waived by the Pacers on Sunday, NBA.com reports.

In 28 games for the Pacers, Young averaged 3.6 points and 2.9 rebounds in 16.0 minutes. Unfortunately for the 27-year-old, he suffered an ankle sprain in practice Thursday, and it seems the team felt it was unwise to guarantee Young's contract through the rest of the season. He may land a bench role elsewhere once healthy.
