Trae Young injury status vs. Knicks

Given that Trae Young is probable on the injury report, the assumption is that he will be suiting up against the Knicks. Young has been a fixture on the injury report this season, but has strung together four appearances for the Hawks of late, including a 30-point performance in Friday’s 126-111 loss to the Heat.

The Hawks will look to snap a five-game losing streak. After winning only two of their last 11 games, Young’s promising status ahead of Saturday’s game gives the Hawks a much better chance on the road against one of the better teams of the Eastern Conference.
