The Atlanta Hawks are all set to host the Miami Heat in the final game of the Play-In tournament on Friday, April 18 at the State Farm Arena. All eyes would be on Trae Young, whether the star player will feature against Miami Heat or not.
Will Trae Young play against Miami Heat?
The 26-year-old point guard is listed on the team's injury report once against as he is probable ahead of the clash against Miami Heat. He is recovering from right Achilles Tendinitis. Young has seen his name on the team's injury report on a regular basis due to the same issue. However, he is still yet to miss a game because of this injury.
Hence, it is right to say that he might start against Miami Heat, in a do or die clash for the final spot in the Eastern Conference playoffs, barring any last minute setbacks. Prior to this, he was suffering from a bruised left quadriceps due to which he missed out on a game. The game that he missed was played on March 10 against Philadelphia 76ers as the Hawks walked away with a comfortable 132-123 victory.
Since then, Trae Young has played in each and every game of the regular season, apart from the inconsequential finale against the Orlando Magic. During the 16 game stretch, Young has averaged 25.8 points, 11.8 assists and 3.2 rebounds.
Apart from Young, the Hawks have four other players on their injury report. Kobe Bufkin (right shoulder), Clint Capela (left fourth metacarpal), Jalen Johnson (left shoulder) and Larry Nance Jr. (right medical femoral condyle) are all missing the clash against Miami Heat.
