Star Hawks guard Trae Young missed Friday night’s home victory over the Nuggets due to a lingering right shoulder injury, but as it turns out, there’s more to the story than what was on the injury report.
According to a report from Shams Charania and Sam Amick of The Athletic, Young chose not to attend Friday night’s game after a disagreement during the afternoon shootaround with coach Nate McMillan.
Per the report, Young was receiving treatment on his right shoulder and was pressed by McMillan about whether he would participate in shootaround and play in the game against Denver.
