Trae Young exits with knee sprain vs Brooklyn

Trae Young (Atlanta Hawks)
October 2025

Trae Young exited in the first quarter after teammate Mouhamed Gueye fell into his right knee during an inbound play. The four-time All-Star scored six points in seven minutes before being ruled out with a sprain, adding to Atlanta’s early-season injury concerns. Initial scans will assess ligament stability and swelling before setting a return timetable. The Hawks expect precautionary rest pending MRI results. Young’s absence will push Murray and Griffin into expanded ball-handling duties, with rotational shifts to sustain spacing and pace until clearance.
