00:00Trey Young will be out for four weeks, according to Shams, after he had a sprained MCL in his right knee.

00:08He'll be reevaluated in four weeks' time.

00:12The best thing about this story is it seems like Trey has dodged any kind of major structural damages.

00:20And if you look at an Atlanta Hawks team that is right now at three and four to start the year,

00:26there's going to have to be adjustments made to the team.

00:31The last time they played was a 117-109 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers,

00:38in which what they did is they just put Dyson Daniels to the point.

00:41So I think it's something you need to watch out for as you put Dyson Daniels at the point

00:44and you go Nikkel Alexander-Walker at the two.

00:48So now Dyson Daniels will become a little bit more of a distributor in regards,

00:52and you have a capable guard in Alexander-Walker, who obviously had a great year last year

00:57with the Minnesota Timberwolves.

00:59That does put a little bit more pressure on people like Jalen Johnson, Chris Tapps-Porzingis,

01:06Okongo has been really strong off the bench to start the year.

01:10But this is not the news you were looking for for a guy that I said,

01:14as we were leading up to the season, may have the most pressure on him

01:18for the entire Eastern Conference, if not the NBA.

01:22So Trey Young out with a spring MCL in his right knee.

01:27He should be re-evaluated after four weeks of time of being out for injury.

01:34Let's see how he holds up.

01:37And can Atlanta continue to stay in the race in the Southeast Division,

01:43a division right now that has Miami Heat, a half game in front, 3-3 at record time.
