Brutal Hawks injury brings NBA closer to Spurs doomsday scenario

Related Topics: Atlanta Hawks, San Antonio Spurs, NBA

Despite some recent struggles of their own, the San Antonio Spurs are likely keeping a close eye on the recent injury Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young suffered. Young sprained his MCL, which could keep him out for at least a month and up to two months. That would mean that he could miss up to 30 games, roughly one-quarter of the season.

4 weeks before re-evaluation means this is probably a grade 2/3 (near complete tear). Generally a 6-8 week total return time https://t.co/czyCAE927Y

Obviously, cheering for a player to get injured isn't great, but cheering for the Hawks to go into free fall without Young is fair game.
