Trae Young Set To Play Against Washington
Trae Young (illness) will return from a one-game absence to play against the Washington Wizards on Wednesday. Young seems to be recovered from an illness which forced him to sit Tuesday's game and should resume his normal starting role against the Wizards. Bogdan Bogdanovic (injury management), who started in Young's absence, has been ruled out so AJ Griffin and Aaron Holiday should see additional minutes off the bench.

Trae Young Probable For Friday
Trae Young (Achilles) is listed as probable for Friday's play-in game against the Miami Heat. He will likely be upgraded to available ahead of tip-off once again, as has happened throughout the campaign. Young is coming off a 28-point effort in Tuesday's loss to the Orlando Magic, during which he was ejected for receiving two technical fouls. He needs to maintain his composure better on Friday night and score more efficiently. On Tuesday, Young was the top scorer in the game but shot only 8-for-21 from the field and 1-for-5 from deep.

Trae Young Cleared To Face Orlando
Trae Young (Achilles) is available for Tuesday's Play-In showdown with the Orlando Magic. The former Oklahoma Sooner was listed as probable due to the Achilles Tendinitis that plagued him for most of the 2024-25 campaign. However, he'll be out there for the Southeast Division matchup. Young has faced Orlando three times this season, averaging 28.3 points, 8.0 assists, and 26.7% shooting from deep.

Trae Young Probable For Tuesday's Play-In Game
Trae Young (Achilles) is likely to play in Tuesday's play-in contest against the Orlando Magic, as he is listed as probable on the injury report. Young's name has been on the injury report for the entire campaign, but he ended up missing only six regular-season games. His last absence came on Sunday against the Magic for rest purposes. In previous years, Young has played in four play-in games, averaging 27.3 points and 9.3 assists. However, shooting has always been an issue for him in these high-pressure situations, as the Hawks leader has converted only 26.5 percent of his shots from three-point range.

Trae Young Won't Suit Up Versus Orlando
Trae Young (Achilles) won't suit up for Sunday's clash with the Orlando Magic. The Hawks are Play-In bound, so there's no reason Young needs to be on the floor for the season finale. Most of the other members of the starting lineup also won't suit up. But as far as the one spot is concerned, Keaton Wallace, averaging 13.5 points, 6.8 assists, and 1.5 steals in four starts, is worth considering for DFS purposes.
