Young had another strong Play-In Tournament performance Friday, leading both teams in assists and finishing second in points behind Tyler Herro (30). Young saw his efficiency from the field dip this season, though that was probably partially due to a right Achilles issue that made him a regular on the Hawks' injury report. He connected on a career-low 41.1 percent of his field-goal attempts, and his 34.0 percent clip from three-point range was his lowest since his rookie season (2018-19).

The star point guard has averaged 27.8 points, 10.8 assists, 2.4 rebounds and 1.2 steals across 36.2 minutes per contest in his last five appearances.
Capela (hand) won't play in Friday's Play-In Game versus the Heat, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Capela hasn't played since March 10 due to a sprained left hand. Onyeka Okongwu will continue to start in his absence. Atlanta will have to advance past Miami in the Play-In Tournament to give Capela another chance at suiting up this season.
