Trae Young Fantasy Stats

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.

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (knee) will be re-evaluated in four weeks, ESPN's Shams Charania reports. An MRI has revealed that Young sustained a sprained MCL in his right knee in Wednesday's win over the Brooklyn Nets. He will miss a second consecutive game on Sunday versus the Cleveland Cavaliers and could be out until December. In Friday's matchup against the Indiana Pacers, Nickeil Alexander-Walker replaced Young in the starting lineup, producing an effective two-way performance with 21 points and two steals. Luke Kennard and Keaton Wallace will also benefit from Young's absence in the coming weeks.

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (knee) has been ruled out of Friday night's game with a right knee sprain. This should come as no surprise after the 27-year-old when down in Wednesday night's game against the Nets. Young had an MRI scheduled for Thursday but no results have been released as of yet. In his absence expect Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Luke Kennard to get more minutes at guard. Jalen Johnson may see an uptick in assists as well.

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (knee) will undergo an MRI on Thursday to determine the severity of his injury, NBA insider Chris Haynes reports. Young sprained his right knee in Wednesday's contest against the Brooklyn Nets, exiting the action after logging seven minutes. Due to Young's injury, Nickeil Alexander-Walker started the second half and scored 18 points, making him Atlanta's second-highest scorer of the night. As always, Alexander-Walker was also busy defensively, registering two steals and three blocks. Additionally, Luke Kennard had a larger role in the rotation without Young. Both players' fantasy value will rise if Young has to miss time.

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young was reportedly growing frustrated with no contract extension negotiations as he watched some others ink a new deal, like Luka Doncic. Now, according to NBA Insider Jake Fischer of The Stein Line, reports that Young and the Hawks are 'resigned' to the idea of no contract extension this summer. The star point guard is under contract for this coming season with a player option worth $48.9 million in 2026-27. Neither side is reportedly looking to part ways, but if Young hits free agency, that would mean he and newly acquired Kristaps Porzingis hit the market at the same time. Across seven seasons with the Hawks, Young has averaged 25.3 points, 9.8 assists, 3.5 rebounds, 1.0 steals, and 4.2 turnovers per game. While it would be very unlikely that the Hawks let him walk for nothing, it's a development worth watching.

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (Achilles) has been cleared to play in Friday's play-in contest against the Miami Heat. His status has been upgraded once again from probable to available. The Hawks will need a strong performance from their leader on Friday to qualify for the playoffs. During the regular season, Young struggled to score against the Heat, shooting only 35 percent from the field. Nevertheless, he still averaged a double-double in the matchup, with 17.0 points and 12.3 assists per game.

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. Young has faced Orlando three times this season, averaging 28.3 points, 8.0 assists, and 26.7% shooting from deep.

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.
