Trae Young, Jalen Johnson Available Against Bulls
4 months agoAtlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (shoulder) and forward Jalen Johnson (wrist) are both available on Tuesday versus the Chicago Bulls. Young and Johnson were reportedly at Tuesday morning's shootaround, putting the two on course to be active. Young should have no restrictions with a right shoulder AC sprain, after the double-double machine notched 30 points and 13 assists in 41 minutes Saturday. The Athletic's Shams Charania reported Monday that Johnson would return Tuesday, but it may not be fair to expect a full workload following a 14-game absence due to a fractured left wrist. But with De'Andre Hunter (knee) likely sidelined multiple weeks, Johnson could be thrust into a larger role sooner than expected. The 2021 first-rounder'a breakout sees averages of 14.1 points on 59.4% field-goal shooting, 7.3 rebounds, 1.1 threes, and 2.1 combined steals and blocks. Saddiq Bey has the most to lose here.
