Young (COVID-19 health and safety protocols) turned in 29 points (8-23 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 12-12 FT), nine assists and one rebound across 40 minutes in Monday's 130-118 loss to the Bulls.
After turning in a second consecutive negative COVID-19 test just hours before tipoff, Young was cleared to exit the health and safety protocols. The Hawks evidently had little concern about where Young stood from a conditioning standpoint after a three-game absence, as the star point guard played his biggest minutes of the season. Aside from some erratic shooting from the field and three-point range, Young turned in a relatively standard performance, finishing right in line with his season averages in scoring (27.3 points per game) and assists (9.3 per game) while bringing his free-throw percentage up to a career-high 89.7 percent. Fantasy managers who were able to lock Young into lineups ahead of the Hawks' three-game week can feel confident about his outlook.
