The team said Young will be reevaluated in two weeks.<\/p>\n<p>At the time of the injury, the Hawks said an MRI showed Young avoided an anterior cruciate ligament injury.<\/p>\n<p>Young already has missed 15 games. He would miss at least seven additional games if his rehabilitation continues for two more weeks. That would leave Young ineligible for such season-ending awards as All-NBA because of the league\u2019s rule saying players need to appear in 65 games for consideration on ballots.<\/p>\n<p>The Hawks improved to 12-8 with Friday night&#8217;s\u00a0130-123 home win\u00a0over Cleveland. They are 10-5 since Young&#8217;s injury.<\/p>\n<p>Young is a four-time All-Star and won the league\u2019s assist title for the first time last season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ATLANTA \u2014 Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young is expected to miss at least two more weeks as&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":315026,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[434],"tags":[49,48,459,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-315025","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nba","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-nba","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/315025","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=315025"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/315025\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/315026"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=315025"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=315025"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=315025"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
