Could return Friday
Young (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Knicks.
Analyse
Young has missed the Hawks' last two games due to a right quad contusion, but if the All-Star point guard is able to return Friday, then Nickeil Alexander-Walker would likely revert to a bench role against New York. Young has played just 10 regular-season games due to injury and is averaging 19.3 points, 9.0 assists, 1.6 rebounds, 1.8 threes and 1.0 steals over 28.0 minutes per game.

Out Wednesday
Young (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
Analyse
Young will miss his second consecutive contest due to a right quadriceps contusion. The star point guard's next opportunity to play will come Friday against the Knicks. With Young sidelined, Nickeil Alexander-Walker will likely get the starting nod, while Luke Kennard, Vit Krejci and Keaton Wallace are candidates for increased playing time.

Listed questionable for Wednesday
Young (quadriceps) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.
Analyse
Young continues to deal with a right quad contusion. His status could come down to a game-time decision based on pregame warmups. Nickeil Alexander-Walker is expected to remain in the starting lineup if Young isn't given the green light for Wednesday.
29. Dezember 2025
Ruled out Monday
Young is out for Monday's game against the Thunder with a right quad contusion.
Analyse
The superstar guard can be considered day-to-day ahead of Wednesday's showdown with the Timberwolves. The Hawks are already without Jalen Johnson (illness) and Kristaps Porzingis (illness), so it's likely that Nickeil Alexander-Walker enters the starting lineup Monday.

Iffy for Monday
Young is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Thunder due to a right quad contusion, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Analyse
Young is at risk of missing Monday's contest due to a right quad injury. With Jalen Johnson (illness) and Kristaps Porzingis (illness) already ruled out, the Hawks could be severely shorthanded. If Young can't go, Keaton Wallace and Luke Kennard would likely see an uptick in playing time.

Struggles with shot Saturday
Young logged nine points (2-9 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 10 assists and two steals in 31 minutes during Saturday's 128-125 loss to the Knicks.
Analyse
Young didn't even record a double-double after going a meager 2-for-9 from the floor and 0-for-4 from three-point range, as he couldn't do much against the Knicks' suffocating defense. The star point guard at least delivered double-digit dimes once again, but his fantasy value will plummet quickly if he continues to struggle with his shot as he did in this loss. Young has failed to score 10 or more points in two of his five games since returning from a knee injury that sidelined him for nearly two months, but he should only get better as he gets more reps and more playing time.
27. Dezember 2025
Available vs. New York
Young (quadriceps) is available for Saturday's game against the Knicks, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
Analyse
Young was listed as probable before this matchup due to a right quad contusion, but he'll suit up and lead the Hawks as they aim to snap a four-game losing skid. Young is averaging 21.7 points and 11.3 assists in his three outings since returning from a multi-week absence due to a knee injury.
27. Dezember 2025
Probable to face New York
Young (quadriceps) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Knicks.
Analyse
Young presumably sustained the right quadriceps contusion in Friday's loss to the Heat, during which he posted 30 points (8-16 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 9-9 FT), seven assists, three rebounds and one steal across 32 minutes. However, he's still likely to suit up in the second leg of Atlanta's back-to-back set. Young has appeared in each of the Hawks' last three games, logging at least 22 points and seven assists in each of them.
27. Dezember 2025
Tallies game-high 30 points
Young ended Friday's 126-111 loss to the Heat with 30 points (8-16 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 9-9 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 32 minutes.
Analyse
Young led all scorers despite the loss, tallying at least 30 points for the second time in the past three games. He continues to ramp up after missing 22 games due to a knee injury, having now played at least 30 minutes in two straight games. While his production is certainly trending in the right direction, the same cannot be said for the Hawks' record. Atlanta has now lost five straight games ahead of what figures to be another tough matchup against the Knicks on Saturday.
