Trae Young "Progressing Well," Will be Re-Evaluated in Two Weeks
According ESPN's Ohm Youngmisuk, Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (knee) is "progressing well" in his recovery from a sprained right MCL and will be re-evaluated in two weeks. The 27-year-old appeared in five games before going on the shelf. However, fantasy managers were frustrated by the lack of production, with Young averaging a career-low 17.8 points, 7.8 assists, and 19.2% shooting from behind the arc. The Hawks have remained competitive while he's been away, so the team could take things even slower regarding his rehab. With that said, Young has an excellent chance of getting on track in terms of his statistical contributions once he's back on the floor, although he may see limited minutes for at least a few contests. In the meantime, Jalen Johnson is expected to continue playing at an All-Star level, with increased scoring anticipated from Nickeil Alexander-Walker, who had 30 points in Friday's NBA Cup win over the Cleveland Cavaliers.
