Anthony Chiang: Hawks rule out Clint Capela, Jalen Johnson, Larry Nance Jr. and Kobe Bufkin for tomorrow's play-in game vs. Heat. Trae Young is probable with right Achilles tendinitis.
Trae Young on Jalen Johnson: He has a big ceiling, he’s just got to be healthy and on the court
When you looked at Jalen Johnson’s trajectory when he was playing, what growth did you see in his game, and where could he ultimately be down the line? Trae Young: For Jalen, the sky’s the limit. I think it’s more about making sure he’s healthy and on the court. You can see what he can do. He can fly around, jump, and pass, and he’s gotten better at shooting. The ceiling is the sky. He has a big ceiling. He’s just got to be healthy and on the court.
Trae Young: This season more about leading young guys than wins and losses
What’s it been like being the leader on this team with young guys around you in Jalen Johnson, Dyson Daniels, and Zaccharie Risacher? Trae Young: It’s not new territory for me. People probably know that this isn’t the first time I’ve been a part of a team with young guys and where they wanted me to lead. I think this is really what they wanted me to do this year. Not focus on the wins and losses. It’s more about how I can bring the young guys along and build them up and build their confidence up as much as possible.
Jalen Johnson: I just wanna hoop man… 💔

I got a great staff around me who provides great insight on things like that. So I just been trying to take knowledge from a lot of people, other athletes and stuff like that as far as you know, maybe what they do, I mean their preparation. But I’m confident in what I do, and I know I’ll get back to 100%.”
