ATLANTA HAWKS INJURY UPDATE – TRAE YOUNG
Guard Trae Young sustained a right knee MCL sprain on Oct. 29 at Brooklyn. He continues to increase his reconditioning activities and is expected to return to practice next week. His status will be updated as appropriate.
Kristaps Porzingis, on coming off the bench.
"Obviously, it's not what I love, you know? But I think it makes sense in limited minutes, and I will do whatever is best for the team. When I say those words, I really mean it. I'm here just to help this team win."
The coin flip that determines the floor of the Hawks pick from the Pelicans (and a 0.1 percent tweak in odds) will take place Monday, 4/20.
Onyeka Okongwu, on the environment at MSG (and organ music at practice):
“Block it out. They were playing the MSG sound system in here a little bit to get us ready. We’ll be fine.”
Asked Trae Young if watching 20 games changed what he wants to contribute:
"I see certain things that our team is doing really good, and I want to keep allowing our team to do them...But then there are times obviously where we're struggling...and I just want to make it easier."
