The Atlanta Hawks will go head-to-head against the Washington Wizards tonight. The Hawks are having an abysmal season so far. Their superstar duo of Trae Young and Dejounte Murray have been unable to figure things out and elevate their team to playoff contention. That has led to the Hawks reportedly wanting to part ways with Murray to look for a different star to play alongside Trae.

Amid the Dejounte Murray trade rumors, the Atlanta Hawks fans received another concerning update about Trae Young ahead of their game against the Wizards.

Trae Young suffering from a left calf contusion

According to the latest injury report by the Atlanta Hawks, their superstar Trae Young’s status for tonight’s game is probable. The 2-time All-Star is suffering from a left calf contusion. The injury might cause him to not suit up tonight against Jordan Poole and Co. If Trae Young gets ruled out of tonight’s game, that will be a massive blow for the Hawks. Young has been their best player this season, averaging 27.4 points and 10.9 assists. Although the Hawks are 11th in the Eastern Conference standings with a 15-22 record, Trae’s incredible performance has given the fans hope for a turnaround.

Trae Young’s injury is coming at a very bad time for the Hawks fans, as they are already on their toes about the Dejounte Murray trade rumors. Since the news about Atlanta looking for trade offers for Murray broke out, many teams have expressed their interest in acquiring the former All-Star. Murray is one of the most talented young guards in the league and can help a title-contending team reach the next level. He is averaging 21.3 points, 5 assists, and 4.6 rebounds this season.

Trae Young is having a great season despite his team’s struggles

Even though the Atlanta Hawks are struggling to make it to the playoffs this season, Trae Young is having a great individual season. His popularity among the fans has been evident in this year’s All-Star voting. After the second tally of the voting, Trae received the second-highest fan votes among guards in the Eastern Conference.

Young currently has 1,449,485 fan votes and might make his 3rd career All-Star team selection this season. He is only behind Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton in voting.

Trae has more votes than several guards with a better record than the Hawks this season, including Damian Lillard, Tyrese Maxey, and Jalen Brunson. That shows how great Trae has been playing all season despite the Hawks’ struggles. Hopefully, Trae’s incredible performance can also result in wins for the Atlanta Hawks, and they can turn things around to make the playoffs this season.
