\n

The Atlanta Hawks and point guard Trae Young are working to find a trade destination for the four-time All-Star, according to multiple media reports.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

The Hawks and Young have remained in contact about his future with the organization since Atlanta elected not to offer him a contract extension last offseason when he became eligible, according to ESPN.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

ESPN also reported those talks have escalated over the last week. Marc Stein of The Stein Line reported Monday that the Washington Wizards had emerged as a “legitimate potential trade destination” for Young.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Young, 27, has spent his entire career in Atlanta since the Hawks acquired him in a draft-and-trade deal with Dallas in the 2018 NBA Draft as the fifth overall pick. He’s the franchise’s all-time leader in assists (4,837) and 3-pointers made (1,295).<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

His career average of 9.8 assists per game is the third highest in NBA history behind only Magic Johnson and John Stockton.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Young, a third-team All-NBA player for the 2021-22 season, led the Hawks to the Eastern Conference Finals in the 2020-21 campaign. Atlanta failed to make it out of the first round the next two seasons and also couldn’t escape the play-in tournament the last two campaigns.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Young has missed 28 of Atlanta’s 38 games this season, and he’s currently sidelined by a quad contusion. Young is averaging 19.3 points and 8.9 assists per game — both the lowest since his rookie season — in his limited action this campaign.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

The Hawks are 2-8 with Young this season and 15-13 in his absence after Monday’s 118-100 loss at Toronto.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Jalen Johnson’s emergence (career highs of 24 points, 10.2 rebounds and 8.5 assists this season) in his fifth campaign has filled the scoring void with Young sidelined.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Over eight seasons and 493 games (all starts), Young has averaged 25.2 points, 3.5 rebounds and one steal per contest.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
