Thaddeus Young Will Not Play Against the Detroit Pistons Due to Wrist Sprain

This will be the first game missed all season long for Thaddeus Young, the Indiana Pacers’ starting power forward.

According to Pat Boylan, Thad is dealing with a badly sprained wrist with a lot of swelling. He avoided a fracture, though, when he took a tumble against the Brooklyn Nets.

Pat Boylan also tweeted that Lavoy Allen will start in place of Thaddeus.

Thad Young has a "bad sprain, a lot of swelling, but didn't show any type of fracture." He's out tonight.

Allen has played well since re-entering the rotation five games ago.
