Atlanta Hawks Release Injury Report Ahead of Tomorrow's Matchup With the Kings
The Hawks are on the road tomorrow for their first trip to the West Coast this season. Atlanta will take on the Kings, but they are going to be short-handed.
Trae Young (NBA Concussion Policy) is out. Young took a hard charge from Cavs forward Isaac Okoro and left the game. After the game, Hawks head coach Quin Snyder said that Young was going to be evaluated for a potential concussion and today, the Hawks updated Young's status and announced that he was being placed in concussion protocol.
Here is the official update from the Hawks:
"Guard Trae Young left last night’s game vs. Cleveland after drawing a charge with 8:43 remaining in the fourth quarter. After an evaluation by the team’s athletic training and medical staff, Young has been diagnosed with a concussion.
Per the league’s Concussion Policy, Young will begin the NBA-mandated Return-to-Participation process. This process includes a series of steps designed to ensure an athlete exhibits symptom-free behavior before resuming basketball activities. There is no predetermined timetable to complete the process. Each injury and player is different and recovery time can vary in each case."
Mouhamed Gueye (right low back stress fracture), De’Andre Hunter (right knee inflammation), Vit Krejci (left shoulder subluxation), and Wesley Matthews (right calf strain) are all out for Atlanta.
Trae Young is out for tomorrow's game vs the Kings
The Hawks have won two games without Young this season, but he is irreplaceable in the Hawks lineup. Young is one of the top playmakers in the NBA and the way he creates offense for the rest of the team is something that is irreplaceable. Dejounte Murray and Bogdan Bogdanovic are going to be heavily relied upon while Young remains in the concussion protocol.
Hawks vs Kings tips off at 10:00 p.m. tomorrow night.
