The Atlanta Hawks welcomed their point guard back on Thursday night.
Trae Young had missed the last 22 games due to injury, but he returned to the court as the Hawks fell to the Charlotte Hornets.
Atlanta has a quick turnaround to a Friday night game against the San Antonio Spurs, which has raised questions about Young's availability.
This is what we know.

Is Trae Young playing tonight?
The expectation is that Young will play on Friday night.
No one with the Hawks has said anything about resting him on a back-to-back.
It'll be worth watching the injury report later in the day just in case.
Young participated fully in Wednesday's practice, and he was listed as probable before indeed playing Thursday night after his knee injury.
He didn't have a great game scoring the ball, putting up just eight points. Young did have 10 assists against the Hornets.
Jalen Johnson became Atlanta's leader with Young out, and he had 43 points, 11 rebounds and 9 assists against Charlotte. Doesn't look like he'll be taking a backseat anytime soon.
