Trae Young's Comment / August 5

Murray and Young only spent two seasons together.

They were able to make the NBA playoffs in 2023, but are coming off a tough year where they were the 10th seed in the Eastern Conference with a 36-46 record.

The Hawks missed the NBA playoffs for the first time since the 2020 season.
