Trae Young Ruled Out Tuesday, Injury Updates

Atlanta Hawks

Trae Young (Achilles)

Trae Young will miss Tuesday's game against the Indiana Pacers due to right Achilles soreness, the team announced. It will be the second straight game Young has missed with the injury. The Hawks are 1-5 without Young this season.

Young is averaging 27.3 points and 9.3 assists per game this season. He is one of the most dynamic offensive players in the NBA and his absence will be a big blow to the Hawks.

The Hawks will likely start Delon Wright at point guard in Young's absence. Wright is a solid defender and passer, but he is not the same offensive threat as Young.
