Hawks Injury Report: Hawks key player is suffering from incredible injury…
Dejounte Murray’s future still unknown, how many games will Trae Young miss as a result of the NBA’s concussion protocol?
With eight minutes left in the fourth quarter, Trae Young left the game, and the Atlanta Hawks supporters gasped for oxygen. Unfortunately for Atlanta, it appears from the most recent reports that Young has entered the NBA concussion protocol. The two-time all-star has only missed two games this season, but Atlanta will suffer since this most recent development may not have an end in sight.
Adrian Wojnarowski verified the statement, “Atlanta has placed Trae Young in the league’s concussion protocol,” in a post on X (previously known as Twitter).
Young was hurt during the game versus Cleveland while guarding against Isaac Okoro, who was pulling into the lane and taking a euro stride. Young tried to grab the lead, but he ran into the opponent. When Okoro’s elbow struck Young’s face during his leap, he had to stay on the ground for a while before going to the locker room.

It could be necessary to make a first-round selection and Duncan Robinson deal in order to get the Atlanta Hawks guard. Jimmy Butler has lauded Murray, referring to him as a “stellar point guard” and a “All-Star,” particularly following his game-winning three-pointer against the Heat the other night. Given that Kyle Lowry is nearing the end of his deal, the Heat may view Murray as an important pickup for the near and far future. When do you think Young will make his comeback? Is Murray going to be traded?
