During Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals, Trae Young suffered a bone bruise in his right foot. The news comes from the Atlanta Hawks following an MRI on the young superstar’s foot. After going down during the game, Young tried to come back and make the most out of his time on the court, but it was mostly in vain. The Hawks were unable to stop Khris Middleton from going off and carrying the Bucks to the win and a 2-1 series lead. Now heading into Game 4, Trae Young is questionable.

Without a healthy Trae Young, the Hawks have little hope of taking down the Milwaukee Bucks. Giannis Antetokounmpo and Middleton seem to be hitting a groove of sorts and it will require some big performances from others.

His Game 3 performance included 35 points and 4 assists. The Hawks were unable to take the first game of the series on their own homecourt, but they did steal a game in Milwaukee. This Game 4 could be pivotal for the series. If Atlanta goes down 3-1, it will be difficult to crawl back. The Phoenix Suns in the West are looking at a pivotal Game 5 where they could eliminate the Clippers and get plenty of rest going into the NBA Finals. So the longer the series goes for either East team, the more rest their future opponents may end up with.
The Bucks are looking to take down the Hawks and steal another game in Atlanta. I have a feeling Ice Trae is going to play as long as he can run up and down the court. Perhaps there will be a special performance in store for fans.
