Trae Young of the Atlanta Hawks recently headed back to the locker room after getting hit in the face. Atlanta is currently taking on the Orlando Magic, they are up nearly 20 points with nine minutes remaining in the fourth quarter.
Young wasn't having a great night, as he was 0-6 from 3-point range but has still been able to add in 23 points and four assists for the Hawks. Atlanta has been playing some bad basketball this season and a potential injury to Trae Young would certainly be the last thing that they want. They are under .500 as they sit at 13-14 on the year, but should move back to .500 with the win on Wednesday night.
Trae Young has been one of the only bright spots for the team as he's currently averaging 27 points per game, with 9.4 assists, and has the fifth-best PER in the NBA.
After an impressive season a year ago, that saw them make the Eastern Conference Finals, they're currently the number 10 seed and just haven't been playing as well as they were hoping for. It is still only the beginning of the season and the Hawks certainly have the talent to turn things around. That's exactly what they're going to look to do and a big win against the Magic could certainly help fuel a nice run for this Hawks team.
Young was seen back on the bench and is available to return with neck cramps.
