[Saba Sports News] The Phoenix Suns and Atlanta Hawks face off Tuesday night, but Hawks star Trae Young’s status is uncertain due to an illness. Will the three-time All-Star suit up for the game?
Young has had a rollercoaster 2024-25 season, averaging 22.5 points and leading the league with 12.1 assists per game. However, his shooting percentages—40.1% from the field and 33.9% from three—have been less consistent.
Despite these challenges, Young remains a key factor in Atlanta’s success, and the Hawks are hopeful he’ll play. As of now, he’s listed as questionable on the NBA injury report.
Both teams enter the matchup with identical 19-19 records. The Hawks, sitting ninth in the Eastern Conference, aim to turn their season around and secure a postseason spot. Similarly, the Suns, 10th in the Western Conference, need a spark to fulfill their playoff potential.
Trae Young’s availability could significantly impact the game’s outcome. A win for Atlanta would push them above .500 and boost their confidence in a competitive Eastern Conference race.
For now, though, Young’s status remains up in the air. Will he play tonight? The answer is still a maybe.
