After an impressive rookie campaign in 2018-19, Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young made a significant leap during the 2019-20 season. Young’s ascent included a selection, in a starting role, to the 2020 NBA All-Star Game and, in short, he established himself as one of the up-and-coming stars in the basketball world. With that as the backdrop, word broke on Wednesday that Young will also garner a different stamp of approval, with a clear investment from one of his apparel partners in Adidas.
Early in the day, Young seemingly tipped his hand — at least in retrospect — with a bit of foreshadowing on Twitter.
