Trae Young sustained a right ankle sprain during Tuesday night's game at Miami.

Young received treatment at the Emory Sports Medicine Complex and he was ruled out for Thursday night’s game versus the Miami Heat.

Young will be re-evaluated on Monday and his status will be updated as appropriate.

Trae Young injured his right ankle and exited Tuesday's game against the Miami Heat.

Young had x-rays taken and results were negative.

Young will undergo an MRI as well to confirm the diagnosis as there's optimism it isn't a serious injury.

Shams Charania reported Young could miss two weeks.

The Atlanta Hawks continued to have confidence in Trae Young during his struggles at Summer League and the start of last season before he emerged as one of the NBA's most promising young guards.

"There were so many questions about him among teams in the lottery," said Adrian Wojnarowski on The Woj Pod. "I think he would have went to Orlando at (No. 6) if he did drop to them, but there weren't teams, like, moving up to try to get him.

"I remember in that draft there were teams trying to get up to get Jaren Jackson at four from Memphis."

The Hawks received criticism for giving up on Luka Doncic as they were all-in on Young, but that gamble is beginning to make more sense.

Trae Young and Karl-Anthony Towns have been named the NBA's Players of the Week for games played between Oct. 22 and Oct. 27th (Week 1).

Young averaged 38.5 point, 9.0 assists and 7.0 rebounds per game for the Atlanta Hawks.

Towns averaged 32.0 points, 13.3 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game.

Young and Towns rank first and second respectively in PER.

Tony Ressler says he and the Atlanta Hawks' front office would make the same decision they did in June of 2018 when they traded down from No. 3 and chose Trae Young and a future first round pick that became Cam Reddish from the Dallas Mavericks over Luka Doncic.

Both Young and Doncic had promising rookie seasons.

“I have to be honest, but I didn’t think Luka would be this good,” Ressler said prior to Saturday’s game. “I didn’t think Trae was going to be this good. They are both better than I expected. I think they’re both really special players and have a shot to be for a really long time if they stay focused. I think this trade is going to have a nice, long history of discussion. I wouldn’t completely, again, declare success or whether we won it or lost it today because I do think both teams have someone they can really help build around for years and years to come.”

The Hawks feel they have the makings of a long-term core now with Young as the centerpiece, John Collins, Kevin Huerter, De’Andre Hunter, Reddish and Bruno Fernando.

The Atlanta Hawks have claimed Tyrone Wallace off waivers.

Wallace was waived this week by the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Wallace appeared in 62 games last season with the Los Angeles Clippers. The Clippers waived Wallace in the offseason and was subsequently claimed by the Wolves.

The Atlanta Hawks picked up a fourth year option on John Collins for $4.1 million, and third year options on Trae Young for $6.57 million and Kevin Huerter for $2.76 million.

Collins averaged 19.5 points and 9.8 rebounds last season.

The Atlanta Hawks have requested waivers on Armoni Brooks, Marcus Derrickson, Tahjere McCall and Jordan Sibert.

Brooks signed with the Hawks on Aug. 27, Derrickson on Aug. 23, McCall on Sept. 20 and Sibert on Oct. 8.

The Atlanta Hawks have signed forward Kenny Gabriel.

Gabriel, a 6’8” forward, spent last season with Turk Telecom in Turkey, where he appeared in 42 games (35 starts) and averaged 9.2 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 26.8 minutes (.430 FG%, .339 3FG%, .784 FT%). He has also played in New Zealand, Greece and Russia. He’s played in NBA summer league with Sacramento, Cleveland and Miami.

Vince Carter set his sights on being available to play every game this season for the Atlanta Hawks.

The 42-year-old Carter said that this will be his final season in the league.

"I want to make sure I am available for every game. Obviously, it is Coach's decision, but I want to keep my body right so I can do that," Carter told Malika Andrews of ESPN.

Carter hasn't played in 82 games since the 2006-07 season.
