A miscommunication last Friday left Boston Celtics second-year swingman James Young at an airport in San Antonio waiting to board a flight back to New England in order to join the D-League's Maine Red Claws for their weekend doubleheader against the visiting Erie BayHawks.
The Celtics even sent out a press release noting Young had been optioned back to the D-League. But when word filtered back to Brad Stevens, the Celtics' coach wondered if it'd be better to have Young stay for the end of Boston's five-game road trip in case the team needed emergency depth.
