CSN Philly "Lost beneath the latest update on Andrew Bynum on Tuesday, Sixers head coach Doug Collins said he doesn’t believe injured forward Thad Young will be able to return in time for Sunday’s game against the Knicks at Madison Square Garden. Out since Feb. 4 with a Grade I hamstring strain, Young was..." February 20

Liberty Ballers "Though the Sixers have won three games in a row, things are looking mighty ugly for them right now.

Liberty Ballers "I've never been the biggest Thaddeus Young fan. Actually, I take that back.

November 27

CSN Philly "The Sixers will play four division matchups in their next five games, beginning with a home-and-home set against the New York Knicks on Sunday afternoon and Monday night.

CSN Philly "If there was ever a quintessential Thaddeus Young game, it came during the second half of Friday night's wild comeback victory over the Celtics in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals at the Wells Fargo Center. After all, it was during the late stages of the game when the Celtics' once..." May 20

Courier-Post "The game was going down to the end. This was where the Boston Celtics were supposed to take over, use their experience and their veteran leadership to put away the young and inexperienced 76ers. Boston had done this in Game 1 Saturday, overcoming a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter to beat..." May 15

Courier-Post "It was about as bad as it could get for 76ers point guard Jrue Holiday and forward Thaddeus Young in Game 5.

CSN Philly "These are interesting times for the folks who run the basketball operations for NBA teams. To begin, the general managers and team presidents like Rod Thorn of the Sixers are allowed to talk to the agents of the players, but not with the players themselves. Oh sure, Thorn and head coach Doug..." December 01

Philly.com "No player better epitomizes the 76ers than reserve forward Thaddeus Young. He's fast, scrappy, and hardworking.

Philly.com "Thaddeus Young's odd nose butt of James Jones early in the second quarter of Game 4 appeared to instill a degree of aggressiveness in the 76ers that they lacked in the previous 13 quarters of their series against the Heat.
