The Atlanta Hawks are exploring a trade for injured star point guard Trae Young, who has played just 10 games this season.

The Atlanta Hawks and star point guard Trae Young are reportedly exploring a trade, with discussions intensifying between Young’s agents and team GM Onsi Saleh. Young, 27, has played only 10 games this season due to leg injuries, and the Hawks are 2-8 with him and 15-13 without him, with opponents scoring nearly 10 fewer points per game in his absence. The team is shifting toward a new era, highlighted by strong performances from Jalen Johnson and Nickeil Alexander-Walker. Young, who holds franchise records for assists and 3-pointers, has averaged career lows this season and is under contract for $95 million over the next two seasons. The Washington Wizards are among the teams linked to a potential deal.
