Trae Young makes his emotional return to Atlanta, the city he called home for eight years. Young steps into the visiting locker room at State Farm Arena for the first time since being traded to the Washington Wizards last month. Although he’s sidelined with a sprained right knee and quadriceps contusion, he watches as the Hawks defeat the Wizards 119-98. Young hasn’t played in nearly two months, and the Wizards prioritize a high draft pick over his immediate return. He expresses gratitude toward Hawks fans, reflecting on his four All-Star appearances and the thrilling 2021 Eastern Conference finals run. The trade to Washington, which included CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert, marks a new chapter for Young. He acknowledges the ups and downs of the season and remains optimistic about his recovery, leaving his return to the doctors.
