Young was injured during Game 3 after tripping over an official's foot during the third quarter. He left the game but returned for the fourth, though appeared to be hindered by the incident and was less effective.

In 15 games this postseason, Young has averaged 29.8 points and 9.5 assists per game. He's topped 30 points eight times, including ripping off 48 points in Atlanta's Game 1 win over the Bucks in this series.

"Another Day, Another Opportunity," Young posted to Twitter on Saturday afternoon.

Milwaukee will look to close out the series on Saturday and make a Finals appearance for the first time since 1974. The Bucks have a 3-2 lead in the series.
