Report: Hawks' Trae Young Will Play ECF Game 6 vs. Bucks After Foot Injury

Gary Dineen/Getty ImagesAccording to ESPN's Malika Andrews, Adrian Wojnarowski and ESPN, Trae Young, Atlanta Hawks' guard will be back in action on Saturday for Game 6 against the Milwaukee Bucks. Young missed the previous two games due to a bone bruise. Young rejoins the Atlanta team, which is facing a series deficit of 3-2 and is on the verge of elimination.After accidentally stepping on an official during Game 3, the Texas native sustained a fractured bone in his right leg. This was immediately followed by severe consequences. As the Hawks were on the verge of elimination, the playmaker was unable to attend Games 4 and 5, leaving Milwaukee trailing 3-2 going into Game 6.Young's absence is not the only reason, but Young's outside shooting helps to extend an already long Bucks' defense.Young averages 29.8 points per game, 9.5 assists, and three three-pointers per night through 15 postseason games.Young was out of action so Atlanta called upon Lou Williams, Bogdan Bogdanovic, and Kevin Huerter to fill in. Nate McMillan, Atlanta interim head coach, will feel some relief that Young is back on the court. However, Young must be at his best immediately or he will not be ready for the offseason.Game 6 starts at 8:30 p.m. ET on TNT
