Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young will return to the court tonight against the Charlotte Hornets after missing nearly two months with a sprained MCL, Shams Charania reports.
Atlanta Hawks / Schedule
Young has been sidelined since October 29, but resumed practicing with the team earlier this week, giving fans a first look at their floor general in action.
The Hawks have stayed competitive without Young, posting a 13-9 record during his absence.
This season, Young has played five games, averaging 17.8 points, 7.8 assists, and 2 rebounds per contest. His return is expected to provide a boost for the Hawks’ offense and leadership on the floor.
Meanwhile, Jalen Johnson has stepped up in Young’s absence, emerging as a legitimate star for Atlanta.
With Young back, it will be interesting to see how Johnson’s role adjusts and how the Hawks integrate both players into the lineup.
