Stop playing! Right knee collateral ligament sprain! Another NBA star suddenly collapsed

5:05pm, 3 November 2025【Basketball】

Shams, the breaking news king: Trae Young suffered a medial collateral ligament sprain in his right knee and will be reviewed in four weeks.

So far this season, Trae Young has averaged 27.8 minutes per game, scoring 17.8 points, 2 rebounds, and 7.8 assists, with three shooting percentages of 37.1%, 19.2%, and 82.1%. In the regular season last season, he averaged 24.2 points, 3.1 rebounds, 11.6 assists, and 1.2 steals per game, with three shooting percentages of 41.1%, 34%, and 87.5%.

It can be seen that Trae Young's state at the beginning of this season is hard to describe. During his rest days, maybe the Hawks can achieve a better record...

During this summer offseason, Trae Young is already qualified. Greg received an early contract extension with a maximum salary of US$229 million for up to four years. If he is selected for the All-NBA Team this season, he will be eligible to sign a super-max contract extension for a five-year US$350 million next summer. However, the Hawks have no intention of providing him with a full maximum salary offer for the time being, which makes him feel particularly frustrated.

The failure to renew his contract may be one of the reasons for Trae Young's poor performance this season. He is naturally unable to perform at his best if he is unhappy. The contract he is executing expires in the summer of 27, with a total salary of US$94.97 million in the past two seasons. He has a player option next summer to refuse to execute and enter the free market early.

So Trae Young is a big fish in today's trading market. Even if the Eagles don't want to renew his contract, they definitely don't want to lose him in vain. They can use him in exchange for a large amount of assets for future reconstruction work.

Trae Young was born on September 19, 1998. He is 27 years old this year. He is a point guard with a height of 1.85 meters. In his second year, he averaged 29.6 points, 4.3 rebounds, 9.3 assists and 1.1 steals per game. In his third year, he led the Hawks to the Eastern Conference Finals. In recent years, he has begun to transform and focus more on organizing offense. He has assisted in double figures for three consecutive seasons. In the 24-25 season, he averaged 11.6 assists per game and was elected as the assist king.

But despite Trae Young's personal data always being so good, the team's performance has declined year after year. The Hawks have missed the playoffs for two consecutive seasons. This is why the team management has not made up its mind to lock him in with a long-term contract extension with the highest sincerity. Instead, it has allowed trade rumors to ferment.

Competitive sports have always followed the principle that strength is king. When a player cannot perform of his due value, he will have to face the fate of being ruthlessly eliminated.
