Trae Young suffered a concussion during the Atlanta Hawks’ 116-95 defeat to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday, it was later confirmed. There is currently no timeline detailing his possible return date.

Young left the Cavs’ game with 8:43 remaining in the fourth quarter after he took a hit to the face when charged by the Cavaliers’ Isaac Okoro, with Okoro’s elbow making contact with Young’s face. Although the Hawks’ guard was able to remain on the court for a few minutes, he ultimately departed, leaving for the locker room and not returning to the court of play.

Prior to his departure, Young scored 15 points. He is averaging 26.9 points per game this season and ranks second in the NBA with 10.8 assists per game. The Hawks will be hoping for Young’s prompt return as they attempt to keep their challenge for a playoff spot alive.

Atlanta Hawks encouraging the start of the season hit a major roadblock on Tuesday night when their sophomore point guard Trae Young suffered an injury in the loss against Miami Heat.

Young was driving to the basketball in the second quarter of the Heat game when he got tangled up with Justise Winslow. After landing awkwardly on the floor, the 21-year-old rolled his ankle and fell to the ground. He got up and limped to the locker room with a hurting expression on his face, before being ruled out for the remainder of the game.

“It was painful,” – said Young after the game. “Knock on wood, I haven’t had too many injuries. I’ve been blessed not to have too many injuries throughout my whole entire life, so that was definitely a tough pain.”

Luckily for the Hawks, however, it seems like Trae Young won’t face a lengthy break. ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported on Wednesday that the player’s X-ray test came back clean and that the injury was characterized as a sprain. This means that Young might miss only a couple of games, before returning to court at some point next week.

Young entered the 2019/20 NBA season in great form and was averaging 34 points and nine assists in the first three games. He also shot a 52 percent behind the three-point line.
