Knicks waive former first-rounder James Young

The Knicks have waived guard James Young two days after signing him, the team announced. Young’s next stop could be the organization’s G League affiliate in Westchester.

The 25-year-old shooting guard spent three years with the Celtics and had a brief stay with the Sixers after being taken with the 17th pick in the 2014 draft. Young played in Israel last season.

The move brings the Knicks’ roster to 19, including two players on two-way deals. They have until Saturday to trim it down to 17.
