Sixers' Young to return tonight

Thaddeus Young is scheduled to return to the floor tonight for the reeling Sixers when they host Boston.

Young missed the last seven games with a right ankle sprain. The team won its first two contests without the second-year star but has dropped a season-high five straight since.

“He’s going to play tonight,” coach Tony DiLeo said. “Short stints. Four, five minutes (at a time).”
