TRAE YOUNG CALLED GAME 🥶 (via @NBA)
Atalanta Hawks guard Trae Young is edging closer to returning to full fitness, the franchise confirmed as per ESPN.
The 25-year-old has been out of action for more than a month after suffering a torn ligament in his left pinkie finger. For that, he was operated on February 27 and had a follow-up a month later.
As per ESPN, the franchise confirmed that the player has improved in rehabilitation but it is not clear when he will be fit enough to join the team. In his absence, the Hawks have struggled as they registered just eight wins and suffered seven defeats in 15 outings.
It is for this reason the Hawks are currently placed in the 10th position in the Eastern Conference with 32 wins and 39 defeats.
Young was the Hawks star performer this season before getting injured as he was contributing 26.4 points per game which is the 11th-best in the competition. To go with that, he also contributed 10.8 assists per game which is the second-best by a player this season in the NBA.
His best performance in the ongoing campaign came against the San Antonio Spurs where he registered 45 points to go with four rebounds and 14 assists.
