Overview
- Atlanta recalled Young from the College Park Skyhawks after a rehab ramp-up that included scrimmages and a full practice with the Hawks.
- Young participated fully in practice this week and said he feels good, according to comments reported via ESPN.
- He has missed 22 games since spraining his right knee in the fifth game of the season, making him ineligible for 65-game award thresholds.
- The Hawks have gone 14–9 in his absence and sit 15–12 overall, with Jalen Johnson taking on a larger role as the team’s defense has trended upward.
- If he is not cleared Thursday in Charlotte, his next chance to play comes Friday when Atlanta hosts the Spurs, as noted in team-focused reports.
