TRAE YOUNG NEWS

Lakers Rumors: Expert Believes Trae Young Could Be On Trade Block This Summer, Will LA Bite? The Atlanta Hawks might start to explore other options for the star point guard.

FEBRUARY 25, 2023 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Dazzles against Cleveland Young ended Friday's 136-119 victory over the Cavaliers with 34 points (8-18 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 14-15 FT), three rebounds, nine assists and one steal across 32 minutes.

Impact Young led the way for the Hawks in their first game since the All-Star break, and the star point guard ended just one assist away from recording what would've been his sixth straight double-double. Young is one of the best guards in the league from a fantasy perspective and is a double-double threat every time he steps on the court, but he seems to have taken his game to a whole new level of late. He's averaging 25.1 points and 12.1 assists per game across eight February appearances.

Double-double streak at five Young ended Wednesday's 122-101 loss to the Knicks with 19 points (4-14 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 10-13 FT), 11 assists, four steals and one rebound across 31 minutes.

Impact It was his fifth straight double-double and 30th of the season, tying him for sixth in the NBA headed into the All-Star break. Young is on pace to average a double-double for the first time in his career, and the offseason addition of Dejounte Murray seems to have given him license to focus more on his distribution skills -- over his last 11 games, Young is averaging 25.2 points, 12.2 assists, 3.5 boards, 1.8 threes and 1.3 steals.

Impact Young carried a probable tag into Monday's contest while he continues to nurse a sore shoulder, but the injury hasn't stopped him from putting up big numbers of late. He's claimed double-doubles in four straight contests, averaging 25.3 points and 14.8 assists while shooting 43.5 percent from the field, 39.3 percent from three-point land and 96.8 percent from the free-throw line.
