The Atlanta Hawks continue to get a look at life without Trae Young.
The star guard will be facing a major contract decision in the near future. And with Young currently injured, Atlanta is playing without him.
Young is there, of course, on the sideline supporting his teammates.
But will he be with the Hawks long term? That remains to be seen.
Trae Young's absence tonight?
Trae Young is out for the Hawks' game on Monday night against the Clippers with an ongoing injury.
He was originally hurt on Oct. 29 against the Brooklyn Nets.
An MRI revealed he has a sprained MCL in his right knee, the Hawks announced.
Atlanta had already shared that Young's ACL is entirely intact.

At the time of the injury announcement, Young was set to be re-evaluated in four weeks, which takes the calendar about to the end of November.
His rehab is already underway, according to the Hawks' announcement.
Young was averaging 20.8 points through the first four games of the season, then was knocked out after six quick points against the Nets in game five.
