Taking to Twitter on Thursday, Young announced that he is retiring from basketball. He said that he’s found it time to “hang ’em up and start something new.”
“The game of basketball has brought so much joy in my life and I’m forever thankful for what it has done for me,” Young wrote. “I’ve decided the time has come to hang ‘em up and start something new. Excited for a new chapter in my life.”
Young ends his career with 65 starts in 108 games played. He averaged 6.0 points and 4.3 rebounds per game.
Fans on Twitter have shown support for Young in his decision. Many are thanking him for his contributions to the team and are wishing him luck moving forward:

“You have made us all proud both on and off the court. You are a class act and I wish you nothing but the best in this next chapter,” wrote another.
“Great player. Glad you are doing what’s right for your health and family. Go be great!” a third fan wrote.
