Trae Young: Injury update| Will play tonight| Status tonight
Injury Update:
Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks are preparing for Thursday night’s game against the Phoenix Suns. After disappointing with their play throughout the first half of the 2021-22 NBA season, the Hawks have suddenly started to show some signs of life. The team currently finds itself in 10th place in the Eastern Conference standings but have gone on to win seven of their last ten games.
The Hawks made noise in the NBA last year with an impressive run towards the Eastern Conference finals. Many thought the Hawks were poised to take the next step forward towards becoming a contender for the championship, but this season has been a bit of a rollercoaster. The recent surge from Atlanta has brought forth some hope that the team could be one to keep a close eye on throughout the second half of the season.
Will play tonight:
One of the major reasons for Atlanta’s recent impressive play has been the stretch of games from star guard Trae Young. The explosive guard has been outstanding on the court as of late and has gone on to post averages of 28.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, 8.7 assists and 1.5 steals per game over the last six outings. During that stretch, Young has also gone on to shoot 44.4% from the field and 42.9% from three.
Atlana Hawks guard Trae Young is officially listed as questionable for tonight’s game against the Phoenix Suns. The star guard is dealing with a shoulder injury that was suffered Sunday and it was something that kept Young out of Atlanta’s most recent game against the Toronto Raptors. The Hawks have started to build some momentum as of late, as the team was recently riding a six-game winning streak before their most recent 106-100 loss to the Raptors.
Status tonight:
Believe it or not, Trae Young and his Atlanta Hawks have been one of the hottest teams in the association over the past few weeks. Despite playing some incredible basketball, the Hawks were expected to fall down to the in-form Phoenix Suns.
Much to everyone’s surprise, the 10th seeded ATL team managed to snap the Suns’ 11-game winning streak, defeating Chris Paul and co. 124-115. It was a valiant effort by the All-Star duo of Paul and Devin Booker who combined for 50 points and 15 assists. However, their outstanding night was eclipsed by the wizardry of Ice Trae.
