Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks have been eliminated from the NBA’s playoff contention after losing to the Chicago Bulls 131-116 in the play-in game.
Despite finishing the game with a double-double (22 points, 10 assists), Trae Young struggled from the field, shooting 4/12, while he also turned the ball over six times.
Here’s how NBA Twitter reacted to Young and the Hawks missing out on the playoffs.
As I’ve said many times on Undisputed, I’ve never understood the fascination with Trae Young.

Tough spot for the Hawks this summer. They should blow it up, but they really can’t because the Spurs own their picks. But one thing is for certain: Trae Young and Dejounte Murray need to be split up.

Fun fact NO one ever brings up when discussing Trae Young…He’s 6 seasons into the NBA and never had an All-Star teammate
He’s been to the Eastern Conference Finals and NBA playoffs 3 times. pic.twitter.com/PI7Ln7uCPl

Trae Young leaves the game and the Hawks go on a 14-0 run.
I’m not gonna say the thing but I think we’re all thinking the thing.
