Trae Young was fined by Hawks during playoffs last year

There are some issues brewing behind the scenes on the Hawks. Earlier this season Atlanta’s star Trae Young had a disagreement with the head coach Nate McMillan.

But the issues are stemming from some time ago. Reportedly, Young was fined by the Hawks during the first-round series against the Heat last year for taking a private flight without informing the team.

The incident occurred after Game 2. Atlanta was knocked out in the first-round 1-4 by Miami.

Via Lauren Williams of Atlanta Journal-Constitution:

“The relationship between Schlenk and Young has deteriorated over recent months. Issues began following Game 2 of the playoff series against the Miami Heat last year. In the return to Atlanta, Young chartered a private flight and did not inform the team, according to several people familiar with the situation. In the middle of the playoffs, Young was fined.”

Currently the Hawks are sitting in the ninth place in the Eastern Conference.
