Trae Young was injured on Tuesday night as the Atlanta Hawks lost to the Miami Heat. Young left the court in the second quarter after injuring his ankle, immediately leading to fears that the 21-year-old would miss a significant chunk of time. However, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN is reporting that Young's injury is not serious, and the point guard could return next week:

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young's sprained right ankle showed improvement on Wednesday morning, and there's optimism he will return to the active lineup early next week, league sources told ESPN. Young will rehab the ankle through the weekend, sources said.

Young has started the new season in excellent form, averaging 26.8 points, 7.2 assists, and 5.0 rebounds. Without the influential guard, Atlanta slipped to 2-2 after falling to a 112-97 defeat to the Heat.
