Hawks’ Trae Young: Could return for Wednesday’s game [Video]

Young (finger) is nearing a return to Atlanta’s lineup and could be available as early as Wednesday against Charlotte, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports. He’s officially listed as questionable for the contest.

Young has been sidelined since late February due to a torn ligament in his left fifth finger that required surgery, but he was recently cleared for team practices and full contact. The Hawks have just three games remaining in the regular season and are fighting for a spot in the Play-In Tournament, so Young’s presence would provide a boost to close out the campaign. However, once he’s cleared to return, Young may face some sort of minute restriction in light of his lengthy absence.
