ATLANTA -- Trae Young was scratched from the lineup on Friday night against the Denver Nuggets with right shoulder soreness, the latest blow to the injury-riddled Atlanta Hawks.
The Hawks were already without starters John Collins and De'Andre Hunter, who both underwent MRIs that confirmed their injuries. The team said Collins, who has a left ankle sprain, will be out at least two weeks. Hunter has a right hip flexor strain and will miss at least one week.
Young ranks 10th in the NBA with 27.8 points per game, and second in assists with a 9.
