Treo Young’s injury continues to plague him heading into the Thunder game
Atlanta The Hawks are on a six-game losing streakand things have a chance to get better as they prepare to face the Oklahoma City Thunder. To make it more difficult for the Hawks to overcome, they will be without Jaylen Johnson, who has been ruled out due to illness. Trae Young is also stated in the injury report with a right quad contusion, and it is uncertain whether he will play against the Thunder.
Young was on the injury report with a quad contusion before they faced the New York Knicks and eventually played, but he didn’t look like himself in the game, scoring just nine points and shooting 2-for-9 from the field.

Tree Young’s injury status against the Thunder
Young is listed as questionable against the Thunder, and there is a chance he could play. Young has played a few games since returning from his MCL injury, and has looked good for the most part. The Hawks brought him along slowly when he first returned, putting him on a minute limit and not playing back-to-back.
Over the past few games, Young has gone full throttle with no holds barred, and after their game against the Miami Heat, he was asked how he was feeling.
“Today was the first day I felt better,” Young said. “I didn’t have to ask for a substitution. Last game I asked for a substitution in the third, and in this game, I felt good, I felt good.”
Although Young was reinstated for the Hawks, they still haven’t won since. One of the reasons is their defense, as they have given up 125+ points in six straight losses. If they can fix that area, things could be better for them.
