The organization announced that Trae Young has suffered a left-hand injury and will be sidelined for at least four weeks.

The star guard underwent an MRI on Saturday that revealed a tear of the radial collateral ligament (RCL) in the fifth finger of his Young's hand, the Hawks announced. The 25-year-old will undergo surgery on Tuesday, February 27th, to repair the RCL.
