Trae Young returns to Atlanta for the first time since blockbuster trade to the Wizards

  • On Tuesday night, Trae Young returned to Atlanta but did not play as he rehabs a sprained right knee and quadriceps contusion, sitting under the stands during a tribute video and standing ovation.
  • The Hawks traded Trae Young in early January to the Washington Wizards for CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert after a season heading toward another mediocre finish.
  • Kuminga's efficient 9-for-12 shooting, including three threes, helped the Hawks win 119-98 after he finished with 27 points, seven rebounds, four assists and two steals in 24 minutes.
  • The Hawks will face Washington again on Thursday, with Jonathan Kuminga likely to see more minutes due to Jalen Johnson's injury, while coach Quin Snyder praised Kuminga's maturity.
  • Young leaves Atlanta as the franchise leader in 4,837 assists and 1,295 made three-pointers, while the Wizards manage his recovery after nearly two months without playing.
