Hawks' Trae Young shares positive update after suffering ankle injury

Originally posted on Larry Brown Sports  |  By Larry Brown  |  Last updated 4/22/21

Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young shared an encouraging update on Wednesday night after leaving his team’s game with an ankle injury.

Young rolled his left ankle in the third quarter of his Atlanta Hawks’ 137-127 overtime loss to the New York Knicks on this play.

Young appeared to be in serious pain after the injury and had to be helped off the court. He did not return.

X-rays were negative, but Young will also undergo an MRI.

Young tweeted that God had his back. The young guard also said he would “be back soon.”

That’s good news for the Hawks, who are now in the fifth spot in the East, a half-game behind the Knicks. Young is the team’s leading scorer and a key part of their efforts to make and advance in the postseason this year.
