Sixers' Young leaves with sprained ankle

Sixers forward Thaddeus Young left tonight's game against the Atlanta Hawks late in the first quarter after suffering a sprained right ankle.

Young attempted to block a shot from Atlanta's Josh Smith and his right ankle landed on Smith's foot, leaving the second-year star writhing in paint.

Young was carried off the court by two teammates. An X-ray came back negative but Young could be sidelined for a while.

Young is averaging 15.3 points per game and had scored 20 or more points in each of the Sixers' past seven games.
