Hawks guard Trae Young downplayed his reported spat with coach Nate McMillan when speaking to reporters Monday. However, the media session began to grow tense as a member of the press pushed the two-time All-Star for clarity on the matter
of a heated exchange over the weekend. However, the media session began to grow tense as a member of the press pushed the two-time All-Star for clarity on the matter.
“I mean we’re all grown men here and sometimes we don’t always agree. It’s unfortunate that private situations and private conversations get out to the public but I guess that’s the world we live in now,” he said. “But I’m just focused on basketball and focused on helping my team win. That’s what I gotta get to re-focusing on.”
Klein jumped back in and asked about the perception of Young not being in the Hawks arena supporting his teammates, prompting the 24-year-old to shoot down the notion there’s any conflict within the organization. Later in the session, Klein again pushed Young on his decision to not show up to the game, even if he wasn’t healthy enough to play. He pointed out Young’s teammate John Collins was present despite an injury, a comparison the 24-year-old didn’t seem to agree with.
