What happened to Trae Young?

The Atlanta Hawks announced Tuesday that All-Star guard Trae Young will progress to the next phase of his rehabilitation following finger surgery. However, the team has not provided a specific timeline for his return to the lineup.

Following his Feb. 27 operation to mend a torn ligament in his left pinkie finger, Trae Young underwent a one-month follow-up examination. The team reported that he is advancing well in his recovery and will commence small finger motion exercises this week.

They will be cautious with his return timetable as the regular season approaches an end, with them possibly facing two crucial must-win games in the play-in.
