Trae Young Ruled Out Wednesday with Quadriceps Contusion

Trae Young (right quadriceps contusion) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves, marking his second consecutive missed contest. His next chance to play will be Friday against the Knicks. Nickeil Alexander-Walker is expected to start in his absence, with Luke Kennard, Vit Krejci, and Keaton Wallace potentially seeing increased minutes. An older report noted the Hawks were winless after a previous return by Young, but the current status is his absence.
