Atlanta Hawks' Trae Young ruled out for Game 5 vs. Milwaukee Bucks

MILWAUKEE -- The Atlanta Hawks were without superstar guard Trae Young for Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals because of a bone bruise in his right foot.

Young had been a game-time decision Thursday night. And like prior to Game 4 on Tuesday in Atlanta, after testing his foot before the game, Young didn't feel comfortable enough to play, Hawks coach Nate McMillan said.

Young suffered the injury after stepping on the foot of referee Sean Wright late in the third quarter of Game 3. The third-year point guard is averaging 29.
