Washington (AFP) – Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young will be sidelined for the next four weeks by a sprained right knee ligament, the NBA club announced on Saturday. Young suffered the injury in a 117-112 victory at Brooklyn on Wednesday, and an MRI exam on Friday confirmed the extent of the injury and that he suffered no major structural damage.
Four-time NBA All-Star Young has begun rehabilitation and will be re-evaluated in about four weeks, the team said in a statement. The 27-year-old American, last season’s NBA assists leader, has 17.8 points and 7.8 assists a game this season for the Hawks (3-3).
