Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young has been diagnosed with a concussion after leaving Saturday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers because he was hit in the head by Isaac Okoro.
The incident occurred in the fourth period, when Young left the game with 8 minutes and 43 seconds remaining after being hit by Okoro's elbow. Although Young remained on the court for a few minutes, he eventually headed to the locker room and did not return to the game.
Concern is intensifying for the Hawks, as Young had sat out Friday's game against the Miami Heat due to illness. Averaging 26.9 points per game and ranking second in the NBA with 10.8 assists per game, Young's absence presents a significant challenge for the Hawks.

Here's the play where Trae Young sustained the concussion after taking an inadvertent elbow from Isaac Okoro. The Hawks say there is no timetable for his return.
