CHICAGO — Atlanta All-Star Trae Young was sidelined for the short-handed Hawks ‘ 110-94 win against the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday night due to a bruised right rib.
Coach Quin Snyder said Young “took a pretty good shot” against Phoenix on Tuesday, when he scored a season-high 43 points in a 122-117 win. Snyder was not sure how long Young will be sidelined.
“It’s only been 24 hours,” Snyder said. “We’re hopeful that he’ll be back quickly. If you’ve ever been hit in the ribs, sometimes they can’t tell if it’s broken or it’s sore or it’s bruised. Trae competes every time he plays and it’s hard to find a 175-pound guard that’s more durable than Trae Young.”…
