Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (Achilles) is listed as probable for Friday's play-in game against the Miami Heat. He will likely be upgraded to available ahead of tip-off once again, as has happened throughout the campaign. Young is coming off a 28-point effort in Tuesday's loss to the Orlando Magic, during which he was ejected for receiving two technical fouls. He needs to maintain his composure better on Friday night and score more efficiently. On Tuesday, Young was the top scorer in the game but shot only 8-for-21 from the field and 1-for-5 from deep.
Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (Achilles) is available for Tuesday's Play-In showdown with the Orlando Magic. The former Oklahoma Sooner was listed as probable due to the Achilles Tendinitis that plagued him for most of the 2024-25 campaign. However, he'll be out there for the Southeast Division matchup.

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (Achilles) is likely to play in Tuesday's play-in contest against the Orlando Magic, as he is listed as probable on the injury report. Young's name has been on the injury report for the entire campaign, but he ended up missing only six regular-season games. His last absence came on Sunday against the Magic for rest purposes. In previous years, Young has played in four play-in games, averaging 27.3 points and 9.3 assists. However, shooting has always been an issue for him in these high-pressure situations, as the Hawks leader has converted only 26.5 percent of his shots from three-point range.
Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (Achilles) won't suit up for Sunday's clash with the Orlando Magic. The Hawks are Play-In bound, so there's no reason Young needs to be on the floor for the season finale. Most of the other members of the starting lineup also won't suit up. But as far as the one spot is concerned, Keaton Wallace, averaging 13.5 points, 6.8 assists, and 1.5 steals in four starts, is worth considering for DFS purposes.
Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (Achilles) is cleared to play in Friday's meeting with the 76ers. The former Oklahoma Sooner had a 24-point, 12-rebound double-double in Thursday's win over the Brooklyn Nets. As usual, he was listed on the injury report because of Achilles Tendinitis. But the Hawks need to secure the No. 8 seed in the Eastern Conference, so he will be out there. Young has faced the Sixers just once this season, amassing 28 points and eight assists, giving him plenty of appeal for DFS managers.
Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (Achilles) is back on the injury report for his Achilles tendinitis, but he's considered probable to play on Friday against the Philadelphia 76ers. The Hawks are locked into a play-in spot, but still could fall out of the eighth seed as they sit just one game ahead of the Chicago Bulls. Luckily, having Young against the battered and bruised Sixers should mean at least one win in these last two games. This should also make him a popular DFS option, but if he doesn't suit up for some reason, Terance Mann would likely move into the starting lineup while Caris LeVert would also get a bump in minutes.
Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (Achilles) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Orlando Magic. It's reasonable to assume Young will play, as he has been on the injury report with right Achilles tendinitis all season, while missing only a handful of games. Young saw his season-best double-double streak come to an end at seven games on Saturday against the New York Knicks. But he bounced back in a big way in Sunday's matchup versus the Utah Jazz, finishing a high-scoring 147-134 win with 23 points and 15 assists.
Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (Achilles) will play on Saturday versus the visiting Knicks. Despite routinely appearing on the injury report throughout the season because of right Achilles Tendinitis, the former Oklahoma Sooner has only missed five games. He's had another quality year, averaging 24.1 points and 11.6 assists. Yet, Young has been even more productive on the scoring end in his four meetings with New York during the 2024-25 campaign, averaging 27.5 points while shooting 37.5% from behind the arc.
Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports that Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (Achilles) is probable for Wednesday's matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers. A lingering Achilles issue won't likely keep Young from playing on Wednesday as he's been active in 10 consecutive contests. Young appeared to pick up an eye injury and was forced to leave Tuesday's game against Portland in the first quarter. He did, however, return to finish the game. Fantasy managers shouldn't be concerned since there isn't any mention of Young sustaining an eye injury on the team injury report.
