Trae Young Misses All-NBA Team Amid Hawks Playoff Exit

Trae Young's recent performance in the 2024-25 NBA season was marked by leading the league in assists with an average of 11.6 per game and maintaining strong scoring, yet he was notably excluded from the All-NBA teams for the third consecutive year. Despite leading the Atlanta Hawks and posting significant individual stats, Young's team struggled, failing to progress beyond the play-in round for two straight seasons, which has fueled trade speculations. The Hawks reportedly consider Young an 'untouchable' asset, and he remains under contract for two more years with a substantial salary. Fans and analysts have expressed surprise and disappointment over Young's All-NBA snub, especially given his statistical achievements and impact on the court. The All-NBA selections featured top players like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Nikola Jokic, and Jayson Tatum, while the omissions of stars such as Young and others sparked discussions on social media about the criteria and fairness of these honors. Young's future with the Hawks remains uncertain, with trade rumors circulating but no confirmed moves as of now.
