Atlanta Hawks Trae Young (foot) goes cold in return, held to 14 in Game 6 loss
MILWAUKEE Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young struggled in his return from a two-game absence Saturday night, scoring 14 points on 4-of-17 shooting in a series-ending 118-107 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals.
Young was a game-time decision for the third straight game because of a bone bruise in his right foot and sprained right ankle suffered when he inadvertently stepped on referee Sean Wright s foot late in the third quarter of Game 3.
