Young (knee) would like to return to the court before the end of the season, the LA Daily News reports. Regarding the wing's status, coach Byron Scott stated, "We're not in a big hurry. As long as he has some problems going on in there, we're going to take our time."

Analysis:

Sidelined for 18 straight outings, Young isn't particularly close to game action, as there "hasn't been much improvement at all" in his fractured left knee. He'll thus miss contests Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for the upcoming week, with only a glimmer of hope at the moment that he'll suit up by the Lakers' season finale on Apr. 15 against the Kings.
