Already complicated (24-32 – 10th place in the East), the season of Hawks takes a new turn, since the franchise announcement the injury to the left hand of Trae Young, his flagship player (26.4 points, 10.8 assists, 2.7 rebounds, 1.4 interceptions on average). This is in addition to that of Onyeka Okongwu for at least two weeks.
It was Friday night, in the defeat against Toronto, that the All-Star leader tore a ligament in his little finger and he will have to undergo surgery to repair this tear. Consequently, we will not see him again on the floors with Atlanta before, at least, four weeks. Which will bring us to the end of March, or even the beginning of April…
It remains to be seen where the Hawks will be at that point because, without Trae Young, they will have to resist the Nets – or even the Raptors – to maintain their place in the Top 10 of the Eastern Conference, synonymous with participation in the play-in end of season. We imagine that Dejounte Murray will see his responsibilities increase at the front, just like Bogdan Bogdanovic on the back lines.
