Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young has won the Eastern Conference Player of the Week award, marking the third time the All-Star guard was won the award this season.
Young averaged 30.3 points and 10.8 assists per game for the Week, propelling the Hawks to a 4-0 record. Atlanta has surged of late and Young has been a huge part of that, to no one’s surprise. Atlanta sits as the No. 8 seed heading into Monday’s slate, and they were stuck bouncing between 9 and 10 before the streak.
The Hawks will look to extend their five game winning streak on Tuesday night when they take on the Toronto Raptors.
