Are Trae Young, LaMelo Ball back tonight? Hawks v Hornets injury report
The Atlanta Hawks and Charlotte Hornets will face each other, and there is a chance that both teams could return their stars in the match. Trae Young is out since early November while recovering from a sprained right MCL. There was always a chance Young could return sometime in December, and it looks like he’ll be back shortly after returning to practice recently.
As for Ball, he has not played in the last three games for the Hornets because of a bruised left ankle. Ball suffered several injuries throughout the season, and the Hornets have struggled to stay competitive in his absence. They recently defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers, which could be seen as a big win for them.
If both backs can suit their teams, it would give them a boost for their matchup.

Injury status for Tree Young vs. Hornets
He is young listed as suspicious against the Hornets, a big upgrade from where he was on the roster for over a month. It is still uncertain whether he will play in this game, as it is the first back-to-back games for the team. If the team wants to be cautious, they will probably let him play in one of the games and rest him in the other.
Still, it looks like Young’s return is imminent, which is good news.
LaMelo Ballinjury status against the Hawks
Ball is also listed as questionable, and there’s a chance he could return after a three-game absence. The Hornets kept him at point guard, and adding the ball to the crease will make them even better. That hasn’t done much justice to their record, as they are currently 8-18 and 12th in the Eastern Conference.
