ATLANTA -- Trae Young returns to Oklahoma this weekend when the Hawks travel to Tulsa for a preseason game against the Oklahoma City Thunder Sunday. When he gets there, the rookie point guard will find dozens of friends and family members ready to welcome him home. And he'll return to a place that was an important incubator of his budding pro basketball career.

Trae Young's basketball journey began in Portugal as a 4-year-old.

His father, Rayford, played collegiately at Texas Tech and once scored 41 points in a win over Kansas.
