Atlanta Hawks' Trae Young Sidelined with Concussion

Hawks Face Busy Schedule Without Star Player Amid Struggling Season

  • Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young has entered the NBA's concussion protocol after a head injury during a game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. There is no timetable for his return.
  • Young's absence comes at a critical time for the Hawks, who are set to play a busy schedule over the next week and a half.
  • The Hawks have managed a 2-1 record in the three games Young has missed this season.
  • Despite Young's stellar performance this season, averaging 26.9 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 10.8 assists, the Hawks are currently in 10th place in the Eastern Conference with an 18-24 record.
  • In Young's absence, the Hawks will likely rely more on players like Dejounte Murray and Jalen Johnson.
