Trae Young Returns With 29 Points, Nine Assists
3 years agoAtlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young made his first appearance since Dec. 17 on Monday and had no issues logging 40 minutes in a loss to Chicago. His shooting was rusty, though, as Young went 8-for-23 from the field and 1-for-6 from outside on his way to finishing with 29 points and nine rebounds. He also pulled down one rebound and committed two turnovers. Young was in spectacular form before landing in health and safety protocols and this was a decent comeback effort if we ignore the shooting. He'll meet the Bulls again on Wednesday before closing out 2021 against Cleveland. Both matchups are pretty tough for point guards, but stopping Young is a pretty tough task for teams as well.
