When Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young sat out Friday’s game against the Denver Nuggets, head coach Nate McMillan ascribed his absence to a “miscommunication.” Now, thanks to a report from The Athletic, we have a better idea of \u200b\u200bwhat that miscommunication actually was.<\/p>\n
According to Shams Charania and Sam Amick, Young skipped shootaround on Friday to focus on getting treatment for his shoulder soreness. He would then decide closer to game time whether or not he would be able to play. This apparently was not approved by McMillan, who gave Young two options: Come off of the bench, or don’t attend the game at all. Young wound up choosing the latter.<\/p>\n
Following shootaround on Monday, Young spoke to reporters and downplayed the incident. <\/p>\n
