Trae Young's Injury Woes: What Hawks Fans Can Expect in His Absence

Atlanta Hawks' standout Trae Young will undergo reevaluation in four weeks following a sprained right MCL. The injury occurred during the Hawks' win over the Nets on October 29, yet it appears the skilled point guard has dodged a severe setback. After a collision with Mo Gueye, Young initially attempted to continue playing, but shortly after, he exited to the locker room. Follow-up MRI scans indicate that neither his ACL nor MCL was torn, and he has not experienced substantial structural harm to his knee. Thus far, Young has registered an average of 17.8 points and 7.8 assists, shooting 37.1% from the floor across five games this season. The Hawks now face the challenge of navigating the next month without their pivotal playmaker.
