Nick Young most recently played in the NBA during the 2018-19 season when he played in four games for the Denver Nuggets.

The 38-year-old had been a free agent, but earlier this month, he signed a deal with the Macau Black Bears (h/t Sportando).

In 2017-18, Young played 80 regular season games for the Golden State Warriors and averaged 7.3 points and 1.6 rebounds per contest while shooting 41.2% from the field and 37.7% from the three-point range.

He also played in 20 playoff games and helped the Warriors win the 2018 NBA Championship over LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Young was initially the 16th pick in the 2007 NBA Draft out of USC and has played 12 seasons in the NBA for the Washington Wizards, Los Angeles Lakers, Philadelphia 76ers, Los Angeles Clippers, Denver Nuggets and Golden State Warriors.

His career averages are 11.4 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists per contest while shooting 41.8% from the field and 37.6% from the three-point range in 720 regular season games (he has also appeared in 35 NBA playoff games).

While Young's NBA career is likely over, he was an excellent role player and above-average shooter during his time in the league.
