Atlanta Hawks star guard Trae Young has been diagnosed with a concussion following a clash during the team's recent game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. In the fourth quarter of Saturday's 116-95 loss, Young was forced to exit the game after suffering a blow to the face.

The incident occurred with 8 minutes and 43 seconds remaining in the game when Young took a charge from the Cavaliers' Isaac Okoro. Unfortunately, in the process, he was inadvertently struck by an elbow to the face. The impact of the collision resulted in Young needing immediate medical attention on the court. After a few minutes, he made his way back to the locker room but did not return to the game.

At present, there is no specific timeline for Young's return to the court. In accordance with the league's concussion protocol, the talented guard must navigate a series of evaluations to ensure he is symptom-free before resuming basketball activities.

It is worth noting that Young had already missed Friday's game against the Miami Heat due to an illness, which makes his current injury a double setback for the team. Despite the setbacks, Young has been a key contributor for the Hawks this season, averaging an impressive 26.9 points per game and ranking second in the league with 10.8 assists per game.

The Atlanta Hawks and their fans will undoubtedly be eagerly awaiting updates on Trae Young's progress through the concussion protocol. The team will be hopeful for a swift recovery and his return to the lineup to bolster their chances in the ongoing NBA season.
