The Hawks didn’t just get swept on the holiday week but the Grinch rolled in on Friday to mess with their star Trae Young who injured his ankle again. Young had to be helped off the court and didn’t play in the match Saturday in Chicago. There is no indication of how many games Young will miss but since this is the second time he’s injured his ankle Atlanta may want to exercise caution.
With John Collins finally back after serving his suspension, the Hawks can ill afford for Young to miss extended time.
Playing in all three games of week 10 Collins posted solid numbers of 18.9 points, 11.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.0 steal, and 2.7 blocks.
Having lost 10 games in a row for the second time this season the schedule for week 11 doesn’t bode well for Atlanta who’ll face two elite teams out of their three contests.
