Trae Young Ruled Out Wednesday
2 years agoAtlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (illness) won't play on Wednesday against Milwaukee. He popped up on the injury report Wednesday morning with a non-COVID illness and Young hasn't managed to recover well enough to be ready to play. His absence sets the stage perfectly for Dejounte Murray to have a monster game. Murray's scoring numbers have gone from 19.7 points per game to 27.7 in the three previous games he has played without Young in the lineup, while his assists have jumped from 5.9 to 9.0. Young's absence should also give Aaron Holiday and Bogdan Bogdanovic a chance to soak in more minutes.
