Trae Young, the point guard for the Atlanta Hawks, is dealing with a hand injury. His status is currently questionable for the upcoming game against the Los Angeles Lakers on January 3rd. This injury news comes after Young has been facing various injuries recently, including an Achilles issue and a heel contusion.

What It Means
