The Atlanta Hawks lost to the New York Knicks 137-127 in overtime last night, but the bigger story is the status of Trae Young after he left the game with a left ankle sprain. Interim head coach Nate McMillan said Young had a negative X-ray following the game and will do an MRI upon getting back to Atlanta.
Young suffered the injury late in the third quarter when he came down on the foot of Norvel Pelle on a floater attempt. He was helped to the locker room and appeared to be putting little-to-no weight on his left leg.
