Heads back to bench Young is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against UNC-Charlotte.

Impact Young got a start the last time the Blue Devils took the floor but played only 12 minutes. He's seen his role shrink from a season ago and will be replaced in the starting unit by Mark Mitchell.

Gets starting nod Young is in the starting five for Saturday's game versus Georgia Tech, Stephen Wiseman of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.

Impact Young will replace Mark Mitchell in the starting lineup Saturday. Young recorded two points, seven rebounds, three assists and one block in 20 minutes during his only other starting appearance this season.

Seven rebounds as starting center Young logged two points (1-2 FG), seven rebounds, three assists and one block across his 20 minutes during Duke's 92-54 win Monday against Dartmouth.

Impact The 2022-23 Duke Blue Devils' season proved how valuable a fantasy option Young can be as their primary center. He averaged 6.7 rebounds across his nine games started. However, the question is how Duke's team uses him moving forward. Young will likely be pushed out so the Blue Devils can have three guards alongside Mark Mitchell (lower body) and Kyle Filipowski as part of their starting lineup. They may occasionally revert to a Mitchell-Filipowski-Young frontcourt though. In that case, Young's rebound rate and fantasy output likely improves.

The Blue Devils have tweaked their starting five quite a bit this season, so nothing is locked in for Young and Lively at this point in the year.

Young has played off the bench in each of Duke's last three games and is averaging 7.0 points, 9.3 rebounds and 1.7 assists in that span.
