Young (ankle) is expected to be released by the Pacers on Sunday, the Indianapolis Star reports.

The team has until Monday to decide whether or not to guarantee Young's contract through the rest of the season, but it sounds like they've made up their minds. The 27-year-old small forward has posted lackluster averages of 3.6 points and 2.9 rebounds in 16.0 minutes this season (28 games), and suffered an untimely ankle injury in practice Thursday.
