[Saba Sports News] Trae Young is still New York City’s biggest nemesis.
The Atlanta Hawks star led his team to a 121-116 home victory over the Knicks on Wednesday, posting 23 points, six rebounds, and ten assists. Zaccharie Risacher added 33 points, and Jalen Johnson contributed 23 points and 15 rebounds to secure the win.
After the game, Young had a message for the Knicks fans who showed up at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena: “I hope these New York fans find their way to the exits real, real quick. Boo! Take y’all a– home!”
Young’s rivalry with Knicks fans dates back to their fiery 2021 playoff series, where he famously antagonized the New York crowd. Since then, he’s relished every chance to taunt Knicks fans, adding to his reputation as one of the NBA’s most entertaining trolls.
