Young, 25, is averaging 26.3 points, 5.3 rebounds and 9.0 assists across 22 games with the Sioux Falls Skyforce. He\u2019s shooting 45.1 percent from the floor, 34.0 percent from 3-point range (6.7 3PA) and 84.3 percent from the free-throw line, equating to a 58.3 true-shooting percentage.<\/p>\n

McClung was originally a replacement for Spurs guard David Jones Garcia, who suffered a season-ending<\/a> ankle injury earlier this month. Now, Young will replace Jones on Team Austin (coached by former NBA vet Austin Rivers), where he\u2019ll be teammates with Boston\u2019s Ron Harper Jr., Toronto\u2019s Alijah Martin and Los Angeles\u2019 Yanic Konan Niederhauser, among others.<\/p>\n

Young, who spent last year in the Bulls\u2019 organization, has played in just 14 career games, including eight with the Heat this season. With Miami, Young\u2019s totaled 17 points, four rebounds, six assists and one steal on 7-of-19 shooting.<\/p>\n
