Atlanta Hawks PG Trae Young was cleared to return to practice on Monday, with contact, and while he was immediately ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Heat, there are still a few chances for him to return in the regular season before the playoffs/play-in rounds begin.

Trae Young has been out with an injured pinky finger since he left early in a 123-121 loss to the Toronto Raptors on February 23. The Hawks in his absence have gone 14-10 without Trae Young leading many to wonder if the team is better without him.


Before his injury, Trae Young was averaging 26.4 points and 10.8 assists on the season, but the team's record was just 24-32. While the record has been better, they have not improved their playoff seeding and are locked into having to win two games in the NBA's play-in rounds.
