Trae Younger will stay sidelined for Atlanta’s Saturday matchup in opposition to the Toronto Raptors, because the lingering bruise to his proper quadriceps continues to maintain him off the ground.
The setback marks a fourth straight absence, stretching his time away because the crew prioritizes warning with the nagging damage.
Earlier than being shut down, Younger had been a gradual engine for the Hawks’ offense, placing up 19.3 factors per sport whereas handing out 8.9 assists, numbers that underscore each his scoring punch and playmaking duties.
His unavailability leaves Atlanta as soon as once more trying to find secondary creators to fill the hole. The Hawks may even be with out Kristaps Porzingis, who has been dominated out resulting from sickness.
