Trae Young says goodbye to Hawks after being traded to Wizards mid-game in emotional scene
NY Post
Hug Watch broke out Wednesday night in Atlanta.
The Hawks agreed to send Trae Young to the Wizards in a blockbuster trade during the middle of Wednesday’s 117-100 win over the Pelicans, with an injured Young sitting on the bench.
That led to Young’s goodbye to his teammates and staffers being captured on camera.
Young, wearing a polo shirt, shook hands with what appeared to be two staff members while the FanDuel Sports Network Southeast broadcast crew took note.
“This was the scene here at State Farm Arena moments ago,” the broadcaster said. “Nothing official at all, but the rumors are circulating that a potential trade between Atlanta…”
Young, 27, later gave a big hug to what appeared to be a fan sitting in the front row with the Hawks leading 100-81 with 7:13 remaining.
