Trae Young Leaves With Right Knee Sprain as Hawks Top Nets 117-112

An MRI will determine the severity after Quin Snyder indicated it is not an ACL tear.

Overview

  • Young was injured when teammate Mouhamed Gueye, pushed by Noah Clowney, fell into his planted right leg late in the first quarter.
  • He briefly returned for one possession before going to the locker room and was ruled out, finishing with six points in seven minutes.
  • Snyder said imaging is scheduled tonight or Thursday, with Young’s timetable dependent on results as reporters noted hopes it is a sprain rather than a longer-term issue.
  • Atlanta secured the win behind Jalen Johnson’s 23 points, with Nickeil Alexander-Walker scoring 18 and Luke Kennard adding 17.
  • Brooklyn fell to 0-5, its worst start since 2015-16, despite Michael Porter Jr. posting 32 points.
