Trae Young out at least two more weeks with knee sprain
Trae Young
December 2025
The Hawks expect Trae Young to miss a minimum of two more weeks as he rehabs a sprained MCL in his right knee, extending an absence that has already cost him 15 games and will likely render him ineligible for major end-of-season awards under the 65-game rule. Scans confirmed no ACL damage, and Atlanta say recovery is progressing well, but Young will be re-evaluated in 14 days while the team, now 12-8 and 10-5 without him, leans on improved depth and ball movement to survive another seven-plus games without last season’s assists leader and four-time All-Star.
