Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young suffered what the organization described as a left ankle sprain late in the third quarter of Wednesday evening’s overtime loss against the New York Knicks. On the play, Young landed awkwardly after attempting a floater in the lane and, immediately, he appeared to be in considerable pain, needing assistance to leave the floor and return to the locker room.
Following Wednesday’s game, interim head coach Nate McMillan shared the news that X-rays on Young’s ankle were negative and the 22-year-old guard would undergo an MRI on Thursday.
