NBA Hawks lose guard Young for four weeks with knee sprain

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young will be sidelined for the next four weeks by a sprained right knee ligament, the NBA club announced on Saturday.

Text size:

Young suffered the injury in a 117-112 victory at Brooklyn on Wednesday and an MRI exam on Friday confirmed the extent of the injury and that he suffered no major structural damage.

Four-time NBA All-Star Young has begun rehabilitation and will be re-evaluated in about four weeks, the team said in a statement.

The 27-year-old American, last season's NBA assists leader, has 17.8 points and 7.8 assists a game this season for the Hawks (3-3).

Young looks to miss 14 games for Atlanta before a possible return on November 30 at Philadelphia.
