Hawks' Trae Young: Set to return to practice
The Atlanta Hawks announced Saturday that Trae Young (knee) is expected to return to practice next week.Young has been sidelined by a sprained MCL in his right knee since late October, but it appears the All-Star point guard has progressed enough in his recovery to return to practice. He'll need to go through multiple 5-on-5 practice sessions before being given the green light to play, but even when he does return, he'll likely operate on a minutes restriction to ease his way back into game shape. Dyson Daniels, Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Jalen Johnson will continue to operate in larger roles on offense in Young's absence.

Trae Young (knee) is optimistic about a December return, ESPN's Shams Charania reports Tuesday."The Atlanta Hawks have gone 12-8 without Young in the lineup, and they believe his fit with a rising core in Jalen Johnson, Dyson Daniels, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Zaccharie Risacher and Onyeka Okongwu will elevate the team," Charania adds. Young suffered a sprained MCL back on Oct. 29, and he's due to be re-evaluated at some point in mid-December. It still seems unlikely that he will be available for Friday's game against Detroit, to be clear.

Hawks' Trae Young: Won't return Wednesday
Trae Young will not return to Wednesday's game against the Nets due to a right knee sprain.Mouhamed Gueye fell hard into the side of Young's leg, making his right knee bend awkwardly, and Young was in some clear discomfort after the injury. The good news is that he was able to get off the court under his own power, and the team is currently calling it a "sprain," so it appears he has avoided something more serious. Still, this could be something that causes him to miss multiple games, and he'd leave a massive void to fill on offense. Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Luke Kennard would likely split most of his minutes, while the playmaking and shots will be divvied up amongst Jalen Johnson, Dyson Daniels and Kristaps Porzingis.
