Trae Young Uncertain For Friday With Illness
6 months agoAtlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (illness) is questionable for Friday against the Philadelphia 76ers due to an illness. Young came up one assist shy of his 13th double-double in Wednesday's seesaw 114-113 home loss to the Brooklyn Nets that saw a ridiculous 43 lead changes, registering 30 points, nine assists, and four treys while just missing a potential game-winning floater from the top of the key at the horn. The 25-year-old offensive-minded superstar is averaging 27.2 points, 10.6 dimes, and 3.1 triples, and 1.5 steals in 36.1 minutes across 19 games during 2023-24. Head coach Quin Snyder's offense would almost certainly run through backcourt co-star Dejounte Murray if Young is out on Friday. Murray is averaging 26.1 points, 8.5 assists, 2.3 threes, and 1.6 swipes in eight career games for the Hawks sans Young. The sharpshooting Bogdan Bogdanovic may have to embody more of a point-forward role in this case as well.
