Will Trae Young Play Tonight vs. Bucks? Latest Injury Update & Hawks vs. Bucks Preview – February 7, 2025

The Atlanta Hawks face a tough challenge as they prepare to take on the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday, February 7, at State Farm Arena. With several key players dealing with injuries, the Hawks’ depth is a major concern. The biggest question heading into the game: Will Trae Young suit up?

Is Trae Young Playing Tonight? Latest Injury Report for the Hawks (Feb. 7, 2025)

Star point guard Trae Young is officially listed as probable due to an Achilles issue. The Hawks, currently sitting at 23-28, are already dealing with multiple injuries, making Young’s availability crucial for their playoff push.

Atlanta will be without Kobe Bufkin (shoulder) and Jalen Johnson (shoulder) for the rest of the season. Clint Capela (back) has been ruled out, further depleting their frontcourt. Additionally, Georges Niang, Caris LeVert, and Terance Mann are all questionable due to pending trade situations.

Young has been the driving force of the Hawks’ offense, averaging 22.7 points, 9.5 assists, and 3 three-pointers per game over his last 20 outings. If he plays, he will be essential in keeping Atlanta’s offense competitive against the Bucks.

Milwaukee Bucks Injury Report: Will Giannis Play?

The Milwaukee Bucks (27-22) also have injury concerns heading into tonight’s matchup. Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) is questionable, which could significantly impact their game plan.

Additionally, Brook Lopez (knee) and Damian Lillard (groin) are listed as probable, meaning the Bucks may have to adjust their lineup based on their availability.

Antetokounmpo has been dominant this season, averaging 31.8 points and 12.2 rebounds per game, making him a key piece of Milwaukee’s success. Lillard, the team’s primary perimeter threat, is contributing 3.1 three-pointers per game, providing crucial offensive support.

Hawks vs. Bucks: What to Expect Tonight

This game carries major playoff implications for both teams. The Bucks are currently seventh in the Eastern Conference, looking to solidify their postseason position. Meanwhile, the Hawks, sitting at 11th place, are fighting to stay in the play-in tournament race.

Key Stats to Watch:

• The Bucks average 114.2 points per game (12th in the NBA).
• The Hawks rank eighth in scoring, putting up 116.1 PPG.
• Atlanta’s defense is a major liability, allowing 119.2 points per game (28th in the league).

If Trae Young plays, the Hawks will look to exploit Milwaukee’s defense, especially if Giannis is limited or sits out. On the other hand, the Bucks will aim to dominate the boards and take advantage of Atlanta’s defensive struggles.
