The Atlanta Hawks are in wait-and-see mode with Trae Young after he suffered a knee injury in their last game against the Brooklyn Nets. Young had his knee run into during the first half, and he sat on the floor for some time before getting up on his own and jogging to the bench.
Former NBA star Jeff Teague sparked controversy with a remark about the Atlanta Hawks needing \"dark skinned dudes\" to bring grit and anger to the team
Four of The Athletic's writers teamed up to rank the 30 NBA Cup courts for this season. Which court did the writers rank as the best?
Trae Young had a stern warning for his haters, including Patrick Beverley, and believes the criticism will soon wash away.
Ayo Dosunmu scored 21 points, Josh Giddey had 18 points and 13 rebounds and the Chicago Bulls rallied to top the Atlanta Hawks 128-123.
The throughline in this 3-0 start to the season — wins over Detroit, Orlando and now Atlanta, which marks Chicago’s best start to a campaign in four years — is that the Bulls have surrendered to their depth.
Winning remains Young's primary focus. After Atlanta missed the playoffs last season, Trae sees a path for the Hawks to reach the upper echelon in this season's open Eastern Conference. Young is in the fourth year of a five-year, $215.2 million deal, with a $48.9 million option for the 2026-27 season.
