UPDATE (Mar. 25):
Trae Young’s status for Saturday’s game against the Pacers is in doubt due to a calf contusion.
It’s possible that Young will miss his first game since February 4 due to a maintenance day, as the Hawks have a back-to-back this weekend. The severity of the calf issue remains unclear, but he appeared fine.
UPDATE (Mar. 22):
The Hawks (36-36) recently defeated the last-place Detroit Pistons (109-129) in their home court.
Trae Young scored 30 points and added 12 assists at Detroit for his 35th double-double. It was his 24th game with 30-plus points.
UPDATE (Mar. 19):
According to Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Trae Young’s status for Sunday’s game against the Spurs is up in the air because of a bruised right knee.
Young has been on a roll, posting at least 25 points and seven assists in six straight games.
UPDATE (Mar. 17):
Young played 34 minutes in Monday’s 136-115 loss to the Timberwolves. He scored 41 points (15-25 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 10-10 FT) and had 7 assists, 6 rebounds, and 1 steal.
Young was the only bright spot in an otherwise dull night for the Hawks. The point guard has been on fire lately, scoring at least 30 points in each of the last two games and averaging 31.4 points per game over the last five.
Young’s usual number of assists was lower than usual because his team struggled to make three-point shots on Monday (they made only four of 22 attempts).
UPDATE (Mar. 13):
Young had 35 points (12-27 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 13 assists, and 3 rebounds in 34 minutes against the Celtics on Saturday, but his team lost by a score of 134-125.
Young’s fantasy line was more valuable in points leagues due to his poor shooting (44.4 percent on high volume) and lack of defensive contributions, while point guard owners in category leagues still had to be content with the high output in points and assists. Before last Saturday, Young was on a roll, averaging 2.6 steals per game in his previous five contests. His season average of 1.1 thefts per game, however, does not do justice to his full ability.
UPDATE (Mar. 10):
During Wednesday’s win over the Wizards, 122-120, Trae Young had 28 points (11-14 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 assists, 4 rebounds, 3 steals, and 33 minutes on the court.
UPDATE (Mar. 06):
Although Trae Young has still been productive, he has slowed down recently, scoring only 23 and 8 points in his last two games. The 24-year-old point guard is averaging 26.7 PPG and 10.1 APG so far this season.
UPDATE (Mar. 04):
Before Friday’s game, Trae Young had some trouble with his groin, but it looks like he’ll be fine for today’s game.
UPDATE (Mar. 03):
According to Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network, Trae Young will play against the Trail Blazers on Friday despite experiencing right groin soreness.
He has a groin injury, but he should be good to go for the game against Portland.
