CJ McCollum Traded to Hawks in Young Deal; Quad Soreness Noted

CJ McCollum has been traded to the Atlanta Hawks, along with Corey Kispert, in exchange for Trae Young. McCollum, who was dealing with quadriceps soreness and set to miss Wednesday's game, now joins his third team in less than a year. He started all 35 games for Washington, averaging 18.8 points, 3.6 assists, 3.5 rebounds, and 2.7 threes over 30.9 minutes this season. His role in Atlanta's starting five is currently unclear. McCollum is on a $30.7 million expiring contract, becoming an unrestricted free agent in June.
