Trae Young (foot) ruled out for Atlanta for Game 5
Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young will not play Thursday in the team's game against the Milwaukee Bucks.
What It Means:
Young is still dealing with a right foot contusion, and he'll miss his second straight contest as a result. The Hawks were able to tie the Eastern Conference Finals at two games apiece despite his absence on Tuesday, and with Giannis Antetokounmpo out for the Bucks in this one, they could do so again. Lou Williams started last time out for Atlanta, look for him to keep that spot as long as Young remains sidelined. Kris Dunn could see more playing time again with the second unit.
Williams played 35 minutes in Game 4, going 7-of-9 on field goals (2-of-3 on three-pointers) for a team-high 21 points with 8 assists, 5 rebounds and a steal.
