Trae Young will remain sidelined for Atlanta’s Saturday matchup against the Toronto Raptors, as the lingering bruise to his right quadriceps continues to keep him off the floor.

The setback marks a fourth straight absence, stretching his time away as the team prioritizes caution with the nagging injury.

Before being shut down, Young had been a steady engine for the Hawks’ offense, putting up 19.3 points per game while handing out 8.9 assists, numbers that underscore both his scoring punch and playmaking responsibilities.

His unavailability leaves Atlanta once again searching for secondary creators to fill the gap. The Hawks will also be without Kristaps Porzingis, who has been ruled out due to illness.
