Thaddeus Young sprained his wrist before the All-Star Break, depriving the Indiana Pacers of a very solid starting power forward. In his absence, the Pacers struggled to find a consistent rhythm with their starting five and it showed in the stats and in a six game losing streak.
The losing streak was broken in Young’s return after the All-Star break, but he has played differently since. Earlier this month, learned from Nate Taylor that coach Nate McMillan said Young’s wrist isn’t getting better anytime soon, either.
He is on the road to recovery, but his game is taking a few detours along the way.
