ATLANTA — Atlanta Hawks star point guard Trae Young‘s sprained right MCL injury is progressing well and the team says he will be re-evaluated in approximately two weeks.
Young has been out since he suffered the injury in a Hawks’ win at Brooklyn on Oct. 29. Young has missed 15 straight games and was expected to be out until possibly mid-December.
The point guard did get some shots up during a warmup before Friday night’s game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The reigning assists champ is averaging 17.8 points and 7.8 assists this season. The Hawks are 10-5 since Young suffered the knee injury. Forward Jalen Johnson has picked up the load and has 10 double-doubles, including two triple-doubles during that 15-game stretch without Young.
