Trae Young Leaves Hawks-Nets Game With Right-Leg Injury

No diagnosis has been announced, leaving his timetable unknown.

Overview

  • Young exited after a collision under the basket in which a teammate fell onto his planted right leg, causing it to bend awkwardly.
  • He played seven minutes before leaving for the locker room, finishing with six points and one assist.
  • The injury appeared serious on first look, though the severity and recovery outlook have not been determined.
  • Young entered the night averaging 20.8 points and 9.5 assists this season while shooting 36.4% from the field and 19.2% from three.
  • Atlanta relies heavily on his playmaking, so any absence would force changes to the Hawks’ offensive structure and rotation pending medical updates.
