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.

The Hawks confirmed Trae Young will miss at least another two weeks as he rehabs a sprained medial collateral ligament in his right knee, extending an absence that has already cost him fifteen games and leaving him short of the 65 game threshold for major individual awards. Young suffered the injury on Oct 29 against Brooklyn, with scans ruling out ACL damage but confirming an MCL sprain. Atlanta have gone 10–5 without him and sit 12–8 overall, yet face at least seven more games minus their four time All Star and reigning assists leader while he continues strengthening work before a further medical review.

Hawks’ Trae Young out ~4 weeks with MCL sprain

Young has a right knee MCL sprain and will be re-evaluated in about four weeks, likely missing ~15 games. He averaged 20.8 points and led the NBA in assists last season. Availability could affect awards eligibility under the 65-game rule. Rehab has begun. Atlanta must redistribute usage: more De’Andre Hunter on-ball reps, stagger Bogdan Bogdanović, lean into Jalen Johnson’s push-ahead playmaking. Expect simplified PNR sets and more motion handoffs to keep pace. Medical focus: swelling control, quad activation, progressive loading; avoid setbacks that extend absence beyond December.

Trae Young exits with knee sprain vs Brooklyn

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.

Hawks’ Porziņģis aims reset after POTS diagnosis and trade

Porziņģis detailed a postseason derailed by undiagnosed POTS and outlined a managed regimen as he begins a contract-year reboot in Atlanta. The Hawks bet on his pop threat and rim protection alongside Trae Young to retool identity and spacing. Atlanta assembled two-way wings and backline size to insulate Young on defense and turbocharge pace. Porziņģis’ high-depth pick-and-pops stretch to 28–30 feet, stressing pickup points and opening cuts; medical controls focus on salt intake and structured rest.

Hawks lock in Dyson Daniels: 4 years, $100m

Atlanta extended Daniels after an MIP season and All-Defensive nod, leveraging elite steal rates and multi-positional coverage. The deal anchors a core with Trae Young, Jalen Johnson, and Zaccharie Risacher for a two-way rebuild. Daniels’ screen-navigation, point-of-attack disruption, and improving secondary creation justify top-tier wing-guard money. Cap planning anticipates incremental luxury-tax pressure offset by internal development and targeted vet minimum shooting.

Trae Young Ejected for ‘Mockery of the Game’ in Play-In Blowout

Trae Young was ejected from Atlanta’s 120–95 play-in loss to Orlando after receiving two technical fouls—one for firing a pass at a referee and another for kicking the ball away, actions the NBA deemed as “making a mockery of the game.”
Frustrated with what he felt was inconsistent officiating, Young said he acted to defend teammates like Dyson Daniels. Despite leading all scorers with 28 points, his ejection came with 4:47 left and Atlanta trailing by 22. The Hawks will face the winner of Bulls vs. Heat for the No. 8 seed.
