Trae Young had eight points (3-of-8 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), one rebound, 10 assists and one steal against the Hornets on Thursday.
Young was understandably a little rusty in his first game action since October 29. The 27-year-old point guard’s shooting was just a little off as he went 3-of-8 from the field including 0-of-5 from behind the three-point line. Young’s playmaking ability was still apparent as he dished out 10 assists. He played 20 minutes, though that will increase in future games. The Hawks play the Spurs on Friday and the Bulls on Sunday, giving Young multiple chances to see his minutes increase this week.
