Tue Mar 04 23:20:00 UTC 2025: **Hawks’ Trae Young’s Achilles Injury Could Hamper Performance Against Bucks**
**Atlanta, GA –** The Atlanta Hawks face a tough matchup tonight against the Milwaukee Bucks, with the Hawks’ star point guard, Trae Young, hampered by Achilles tendonitis. Young’s struggles from beyond the arc are expected to continue against Milwaukee’s strong perimeter defense.
The Hawks are coming off a narrow victory against the Memphis Grizzlies, but Young only attempted two three-pointers in that game. While he has played significant minutes recently, his three-point shooting percentage has plummeted to a mere 15% over his last 20 attempts. His reduced lift due to the Achilles injury has also decreased his three-point attempts per game significantly.
Sports analysts predict a challenging night for Young, anticipating he will make fewer than 2.5 three-pointers against the Bucks’ tough defense, which has held opponents to a low 30% three-point shooting percentage over their last five games. The prediction also includes a Milwaukee Bucks moneyline victory. The Bucks have been in strong form recently, winning seven of their last ten games. The game tips off at 7:30 PM ET. The Hawks’ performance and Young’s playing time may be affected if the game becomes a blowout early.
