The Atlanta Hawks have officially begun a new era.
In the first game in nearly eight full seasons with Trae Young not a part of the roster, the Atlanta Hawks took down the Denver Nuggets 110-87.
There were a wide variety of storylines to follow in this matchup, and the day-of injury report only stirred up more drama.
Kristaps Porzingis and Zaccharie Risacher, players who were not listed on the injury report the day prior, were both ruled out for the first game of Atlanta's road trip.
Of course, fans speculated whether or not this meant a trade was in the works.
