BROOKLYN, N.Y. -- Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young was ruled out of Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets with a right knee sprain after teammate Mouhamed Gueye fell into his leg late in the first quarter.
Young, who entered the night averaging 20.8 points and 9.5 assists, was standing under the basket when Gueye -- after being pushed in the chest by Nets forward Noah Clowney -- fell backward and into Young's leg, sending him crashing to the ground.
Young was down for a while in pain before he eventually got to his feet and jogged to the bench during the ensuing timeout.
