Young, who played 30 minutes of 3-on-3 yesterday, says that he might play tonight against the Celtics.
"I'm hoping so," Young said. "We'll talk to the trainer and go from there. . . . I'm a little out of shape, but I still can play right now. . . . No pain at all, so that's the good thing."As the seventh seed (currently), the Sixers would face the Celtics in the first-round of the playoffs. However, they trail the Chicago Bulls by only a half-game for the sixth seed.
"We'll see how he feels," Sixers coach Tony DiLeo said. "We don't want to jump to conclusions. See how he feels after this workout."
If Young doesn't play tonight and/or tomorrow night, the good news for the Sixers is he will be back for the playoffs.
