1+ min ago (301+ words) The Atlanta Hawks were off to an underwhelming start to the 2025-26 season when Trae Young was lost to a knee injury. In the weeks since losing their star point guard, there is no denying that the Hawks have found a clear identity and have completely exceeded expectations as they look like a legitimate playoff team. Are the Hawks' recent winning ways the beginning of the end for Young in A-Town? As much effort as Young gives on the defensive end, there are simply some issues that cannot be overcome. While there is no denying what Young means to the city and how great and underrated a playmaker he remains, there are understandable questions. Watching the Hawks play at such a high level while their best player is sidelined is going to garner this response. Without Young in the lineup, this…...

Take our quiz, 21 November).
