Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young has suffered a sprained right knee. Young was injured in the first quarter against the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday night.
Trae Young exited the Atlanta Hawks' game against the Brooklyn Nets in the first quarter after suffering a brutal leg injury.
With a couple of minutes left in the first quarter in Brooklyn, Atlanta’s Mo Gueye fell backward (after contact with Noah Clowney) and fell directly into Young’s knee, bending it awkwardly (if you’re at all squeamish, do not play the video below).
Young's right leg was hit by his teammate Mouhamed Gueye as fell over under the basket. He held onto his right leg, but attempted to play for a few more seconds before being taken to the sideline. He then went to the locker room, and Atlanta announced the guard has a right knee sprain.
