The Atlanta Hawks star guard Trae Young was asked if the Hawks’ Play-In games felt bigger as they can determine his fate with the franchise.
“It’s hard – you can’t look at it,” Young said. “Especially as the player in the moment, you can’t look at what’s gonna come on next year. After the game, if the game doesn’t go your way tonight, what’s gonna happen? Like, you can’t focus on things like that.
“That messes up your head and then you’re not ready to play so, me, I’m not worried about that. I’m gonna let my game play. After the season, whatever happens, happens. I mean, I’m focused on the next task at hand. I can’t worry about the outside noise or whatever fake stories come out, or what’s true, whatever.”
