Mon Dec 11 202321:36Trae Young Ejected On Monday
Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young has been ejected from Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The superstar guard was thrown out from the contest after getting two technical fouls. He received the first foul for arguing a non-call at the basket and then received the second tech for continuing to argue. Dejounte Murray and Bogdan Bogdanovic will be tasked with carrying this offense for the rest of this game.

Fri Dec 8 202318:01Trae Young Out Versus Philly
Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (illness) won't play in Friday's matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers. Young is under the weather and carried a questionable tag before getting ruled out. But now, Dejounte Murray will likely handle most of the duties at the one spot, meaning he'll probably see an uptick in scoring chances. At the same time, guys like Bogdan Bogdanovic, AJ Griffin, De'Andre Hunter, and Saddiq Bey should get more opportunities to produce for fantasy managers.

Thu Dec 7 202318:55Trae Young Uncertain For Friday With Illness
Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (illness) is questionable for Friday against the Philadelphia 76ers due to an illness. Young came up one assist shy of his 13th double-double in Wednesday's seesaw 114-113 home loss to the Brooklyn Nets that saw a ridiculous 43 lead changes, registering 30 points, nine assists, and four treys while just missing a potential game-winning floater from the top of the key at the horn. The 25-year-old offensive-minded superstar is averaging 27.2 points, 10.6 dimes, and 3.1 triples, and 1.5 steals in 36.1 minutes across 19 games during 2023-24. Head coach Quin Snyder's offense would almost certainly run through backcourt co-star Dejounte Murray if Young is out on Friday. Murray is averaging 26.1 points, 8.5 assists, 2.3 threes, and 1.6 swipes in eight career games for the Hawks sans Young. The sharpshooting Bogdan Bogdanovic may have to embody more of a point-forward role in this case as well.

Fri Dec 1 202310:50Trae Young Posts A 45-Point Double-Double
Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young led all scorers in a two-point victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday night. The All-Star sharpshooter ended with 45 points, 14 assists, four rebounds, two steals, and two turnovers. He also helped a lot of fantasy managers out in the free throw department after knocking down 13 of his 16 attempts in this one. Young is on pace to post a new career-high in assists per game as this was his 11th game of the year with 10 or more dimes.

Thu Nov 23 202310:22Trae Young Pours In Season-High 43 Points Wednesday
Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young scored a season-high 43 points as the team ended a three-game slide with a 147-145 overtime victory against the Nets. Young has struggled to score the basketball efficiently all season, and he finished just 12-for-31 from the field here, but eight of Young's makes came from downtown, and he picked up a lot of free points at the charity stripe with an 11-for-13 effort. The Hawks star fell one assist short of his ninth double-double of the year, adding four rebounds and two steals to his account. Despite his poor shooting, Young has remained a walking double-double this season, and he's also upped his defensive game by averaging a career-high 1.7 steals.

Tue Nov 14 202315:05Trae Young Absent For First Time This Year
Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (personal) is listed as out for Tuesday's game against the Detroit Pistons due to personal reasons. Young takes a seat for the first time this season, opening up Atlanta's lineup to feature backcourt sidekick Dejounte Murray as the primary ball handler on Tuesday. Depending on what type of lineup Detroit throws out there, some combination of role players Bogdan Bogdanovic, Saddiq Bey, and Onyeka Okongwu are positioned for more run in this one. The Hawks are on the front leg of back-to-back games, so it remains to be seen if Young will return to the team when they head back home to face the New York Knicks on Wednesday. Fantasy managers will want to look away from the 25-year-old superstar's field-goal percentage (35.7%) and turnovers (4.4), but Young is still managing top-50 averages in 9-category leagues with 24.4 points, 10.2 assists, 2.2 threes, and 1.6 steals.

Mon Nov 13 202322:57Trae Young Could Miss Tuesday's Contest
Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (personal) is questionable for Tuesday's encounter against the Pistons. The former Oklahoma Sooner was initially labeled as out for the game due to the birth of his daughter. However, he's since been upgraded, suggesting there's a chance he might play. That said, if he doesn't suit up versus Detroit, Dejounte Murray would presumably take over most of the play calling duties, leading to a bump in usage. Also, Young's absence would mean the rotation would be shuffled around, with Bogdan Bogdanovic, AJ Griffin, or Saddiq Bey likely entering the starting lineup.

Wed Nov 1 202318:52Trae Young Available Versus Wizards
Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (Achilles) is listed as available for Wednesday's game versus the Washington Wizards. Young popped up on the injury report on Tuesday with right Achilles inflammation, but he's ready to rock for Wednesday's likely fast-paced matchup with Washington. The 25-year-old double-double machine is averaging 21.3 points and 10.0 assists over four games, but he's shooting a frigid 31.0% from the floor. Young should be confidently deployed in all season-long lineups amid a setting featuring the highest implied point total (240) of Wednesday's big 13-game slate, and perhaps his DFS rostership will be slightly reduced by his icy shooting thus far this season.

Wed Nov 1 202310:09Trae Young Questionable For Wednesday's Action
Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (Achilles) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's encounter against Washington. He's played big minutes right off the bat, and Young has landed on the injury report with right Achilles inflammation. The Hawks leader has averaged a double-double with 21.3 points and 10.0 assists through four games. Dejounte Murray, who's tied with Young for the team lead in scoring, should get a lot more offensive responsibilities if his backcourt mate is out Wednesday. Bogdan Bogdanovic is the likeliest candidate to jump into the starting unit, while Young's absence could also help rookie Kobe Bufkin get some meaningful minutes. Patty Mills might be in line to benefit as well, but he has yet to play this season.

Fri Oct 20 202323:15Trae Young Caps Off Preseason With A Double-Double
Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young had a double-double in Friday's loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, finishing with 19 points and 10 rebounds while adding two steals. The 25-year-old had trouble finding the bottom of the net in this one, going 5-for-16 from the field and 2-for-7 from deep. He also had five turnovers. Without question, Young is one of the best players in the National Basketball Association, logging career averages of 25.5 points and 9.3 assists. He'll need to take better care of the ball, which has been an issue, and his three-point efficiency could also improve. That said, with Quin Snyder at the helm, Young's outlook for the 2023-24 campaign appears brighter than ever.

Fri Oct 13 202310:04Trae Young Scores 20 Points In Limited Minutes
Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young lit up the scoreboard in the second quarter of the team's 103-102 preseason win over the Memphis Grizzlies. The star sharpshooter finished with 20 points, three assists, two rebounds, and one steal while shooting 8-for-16 from the floor and 4-for-7 from deep. He did all of his damage in 18 minutes. This is just preseason, after all, but Young looked like he was in regular season form. Last year, his level of play saw a significant bump when head coach Quin Snyder took over and they now have an offseason and full season together. Young has been going near the top of the second round in fantasy drafts and should be a good return on value at that spot.

Sun Aug 6 202310:36Trae Young Ready For New Role Offensively
Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young is looking forward to a full season under new head coach Quin Snyder and is confident that he can work well together with Dejounte Murray. "After going through a year, we knew it was gonna be some adjustment periods from both being point guards and both having the ball in our hands a lot," Young said on the "Gil's Arena" podcast. "But we've been working, we've been talking. I think the thing about us is having Quin, like he's such a smart coach. When it comes to offense, it's not gonna be the same. Since I've been in the league, it's been a lot of just me and just pick-and-rolls There's a lot of new things that we're going to add to our team and it may surprise people." Following Murray's addition, Young's scoring numbers dipped last season, but he posted a career-high 10.2 assists, and the two-time All-Star could be fueled by his World Cup snub in 2023-24.

Sat Jun 17 202323:36Trae Young Only Player Hawks Unwilling To Move
According to Jake Fischer of Yahoo.com, the Hawks would be open to listening to offers for anyone on the roster other than Trae Young. The 24-year-old averaged 26.2 points last season, a reduction from the 2021-22 campaign. However, he averaged a career-high 10.2 assists. At one point, it seemed Young could be on his way out of Atlanta. But with Quin Snyder in town, the Hawks are looking toward the future and could reshape the roster around the former Oklahoma Sooner.

Wed May 24 202310:11Lakers Have Had "Internal Discussions" About Trae Young
Jovan Buha of The Athletic reported that the Los Angeles Lakers front office has had "internal discussions" about a potential trade for Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young. After getting swept out of the playoffs, the Lakers will look for ways to bolster the roster around LeBron James and Anthony Davis. Especially after the retirement comments from James, the front office may have to work at hyper speed. Young and the Hawks underperformed most of the season until Quin Snyder took over, so that could open the door for some trade discussions.

Sat Apr 29 202300:03Trae Young Has Confidence In Quin Snyder
According to Jeff Schultz of the Athletic, Hawks guard Trae Young is unlikely to be traded, mainly because the superstar has faith in head coach Quin Snyder. His relationship with the organization was seemingly at an all-time low during the 2022-23 campaign. However, after the team parted ways with Nate McMillan and brought in Snyder, things appeared to be moving in the right direction. The 24-year-old averaged 26.2 points and 10.2 assists in 73 games in the regular season. But he shot 33.5% from deep, the second-lowest mark of his career. That said, Young should remain a top fantasy producer next season, with his stock rising even more if he can get back on track with his shooting from behind the three-point line.

Sat Apr 22 202310:03Trae Young Gets Going In Game 3 Against Boston
Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young was back to his best in Game 3 against Boston Friday, helping the team to a 130-112 victory with a game-high 32 points. After shooting a miserable 14-for-40 across the first two games of the series, Young finished 12-for-22 from the field with a 2-for-6 record from deep. He made an impact all over the court, notching six rebounds and nine assists with one steal and two blocks in 37 minutes. Young gave his numbers a nice boost with Game 3, but his three-point shooting still needs work -- he is hitting only 26 percent from downtown in the series.

Sun Apr 16 202309:02Trae Young Struggles In Game 1
Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young had a rough outing in Saturday's Game 1 loss to the Celtics, finishing with only 16 points on 5-for-18 shooting. He was 1-for-5 with the three-ball and even had a rough time at the free-throw line, going 5-for-7. Young posted five of the team's 11 turnovers in 35 minutes on the floor, while also registering three rebounds, eight assists and two steals. The Hawks star also struggled in last year's first-round series against Miami, averaging only 15.4 points, and the team clearly won't be in action for long in the playoffs if Young can't produce his normal numbers.

Tue Apr 11 202309:54Trae Young Ready To Go Tuesday
Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (groin) isn't on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's play-in clash with Miami. He was kept out of the final regular-season game with right groin soreness but it was only a rest day for Young. The star guard enters Tuesday's action after putting in a huge 27-point, 20-assist performance in his last outing, and he should be eager to put on a show after reports emerged that the Hawks could be looking to trade him in the offseason. Young played just fine this season, averaging 26.2 points with a career-high 10.2 assists, but the team has struggled and is looking at another early finish to the season despite going all the way to the Conference Finals just a couple of years back.

Sat Apr 8 202318:13Trae Young Resting On Sunday
Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (rest) won't suit up for Sunday's game against the Boston Celtics. The Hawks have decided to rest their starters considering this game has no impact on their seeding for the postseason. That being said, fantasy managers should expect the Hawks bench players to get heavy playing time here. Aaron Holiday and AJ Griffin should have bigger roles in this game with Young sidelined.
