Young (quadriceps) will not play Wednesday against the Pelicans.

Young was unable to shake his questionable tag for this contest and will sit out for a sixth straight game. The guard is presumably day-to-day with a chance to return Friday against Denver. In the meantime, Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Vit Krejci will likely continue to see an uptick in touches.
