Trae Young Set to Miss Injury-Plagued Hawks' Rematch With Celtics

Atlanta Hawk's Star Point Guard Out for Extended Period

Atlanta Hawks star point guard Trae Young will miss an extended period of time, including the team's upcoming rematch with the Boston Celtics, due to a right calf strain.

Injury Details and Recovery Timeline

Young suffered the injury during the Hawks' 129-117 loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Monday night.

An MRI confirmed the strain, and Young is expected to miss at least the next four to six weeks.

Impact on the Hawks

Young's absence is a major blow to the Hawks, who are already struggling to stay afloat in the Eastern Conference.

The Hawks are currently 13-18 on the season and have lost seven of their last nine games.

Upcoming Matchup With Celtics

The Hawks were set to face the Celtics on Wednesday night in a rematch of last season's Eastern Conference Finals.

However, with Young out, the Hawks' chances of winning the game are significantly diminished.

Celtics Heavy Favorites

The Celtics are now heavy favorites to win the rematch, as they are one of the hottest teams in the NBA right now.

The Celtics have won nine of their last 10 games and are currently tied for the best record in the Eastern Conference.

Conclusion

The Hawks will have to find a way to win without Young if they want to have any chance of making a playoff push this season.
