Joe Young has had an interesting three years in Indiana. The Pacers have always used him as a third point guard, and he rarely get’s extended minutes. Before this season, he only had three games playing over 20 minutes. Against Minnesota, he got an extended run for the first time of this season, and he made the most of it.
The Indiana Pacers used Young in the rotation as the backup point guard, per se, for the first time of the season. He finished the game with 24 minutes and 17 seconds of playing time, the second most of his career.
