Will Trae Young play tonight against the Detroit Pistons? Latest update on the Atlanta Hawks star's injury report (January 22, 2025)

Atlanta Hawks star point guard Trae Young is listed as questionable for the team's upcoming matchup against the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday, January 22, at State Farm Arena. Young, dealing with an Achilles injury, is one of six players on Atlanta's injury report as they aim to bounce back from a recent loss to the New York Knicks.

The game is set to tip off at 7:30 PM ET and will be broadcast on FDSSE and FDSDET, with live streaming available through Fubo. The Pistons, meanwhile, have only one player on their injury report—Jaden Ivey, who is ruled out due to a leg injury.

In addition to Trae Young, several key players could be sidelined for Atlanta. Forward Jalen Johnson, who has been a strong presence this season with averages of 19.4 points, 10.3 rebounds, and 5.2 assists per game, is also listed as questionable with a shoulder injury. Another notable name on the report is rookie Zaccharie Risacher, who is dealing with a thigh issue and remains uncertain for the game.

The Atlanta Hawks will also be without veteran forward Larry Nance Jr. due to a hand injury, while center Cody Zeller is out for personal reasons. Guard Kobe Bufkin has been ruled out for the season with a shoulder injury, adding to Atlanta’s depth concerns.

The Pistons come into the matchup following a 107-96 victory over the Houston Rockets, where Cade Cunningham led the way with 32 points. Detroit will be without Jaden Ivey, who has been averaging 17.6 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 4 assists per game before sustaining a leg injury.

With Trae Young’s availability in question, the Hawks will need other players to step up if they hope to avoid their second consecutive loss. In their recent defeat against the Knicks, Young contributed a team-high 27 points, but it wasn’t enough to secure a win.
