The Hawks announced that guard Trae Young has progressed positively in his recovery. They did not provide a definitive timeline for his return to play.

Young has missed the Hawks’ past 14 games after he tore a ligament in his left fifth finger during the team’s matchup against the Raptors on Feb. 23. He had surgery four days later Feb. 27. He had his one-month follow-up evaluation Monday, and the team said he is making progress in his recovery.

The next step of his rehabilitation process includes the introduction of finger-motion exercises this week.

The Hawks said they will update his status as they consider it appropriate.
