With about 7:53 left in the third quarter, Young collided with Warriors rookie forward Will Richard, immediately sending him to the floor. Young stayed down for a few moments before he eventually got back up by himself, walking off the court and immediately heading to the locker room.
Soon afterwards, the team announced that he was dealing with a right quad contusion, and will not be returning for the rest of the night.
Status alert: Trae Young (quad) won’t return Monday.
