Atlanta Hawks Star Trae Young Makes Heartfelt Instagram Post

Trae Young is recognized as one of the NBA's top point guards at 26 years old and is a popular Atlanta Hawks All-Star with over five million Instagram followers.

This week, Young shared a heartfelt social media post with his wife captioned "Forever a special day!", which received numerous congratulatory comments from fans.

Young concluded the last NBA season averaging 24.2 points, 3.1 rebounds, 11.6 assists, and 1.2 steals per game over 76 contests, shooting 41.1% from the field and 34.0% from three-point range.

He achieved a league-leading 39th points and assists double-double in a Hawks victory on March 12th, scoring 35 points (including a perfect 21-21 free throws) with 12 assists and 7 rebounds. This performance made him the sixth player in NBA history to make 21 free throws without a miss in a game.

Despite Young's strong individual season, the Atlanta Hawks missed the NBA playoffs for the second consecutive year.

However, there is significant excitement surrounding the Hawks for the 2025-26 season. Their projected rotation includes starters Trae Young, Dyson Daniels, Zaccharie Risacher, Jalen Johnson, and Kristaps Porzingis, with a second unit featuring Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Luke Kennard, Asa Newell, and Onyeka Okongwu, positioning them as a team poised for a significant improvement.
