Atlanta Hawks star guard Trae Young has a bone bruise in his right foot and is questionable for Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals against the visiting Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday night.
An MRI exam on Monday revealed the injury.
Hawks coach Nate McMillan said he will wait until Tuesday before making a determination on whether Young can play.
"I'll wait until tomorrow to find out where Trae is at, how he feels and if he can go," McMillan said Monday. "If they give me the OK that he can go and he won't injure himself or do any more damage to his body, we'll put him out there."
Young suffered the injury when he stepped on an official's foot late in the third quarter of Sunday night's 113-102 loss.
Young had made a pass near the 3-point line and took a step back when he inadvertently got too close to the official. Young sat on the court for a few moments before hobbling to the locker room with 29.3 seconds left in the third quarter, having scored 32 points.
He returned to the court with 8:44 left in the fourth quarter but wasn't able to regain his effectiveness, hitting only one 3-pointer the rest of the way.
Young finished with 35 points and is averaging 32.7 points to go with 6.0 assists in the first three games against the Bucks. He is averaging 29.8 points and 9.5 assists per game so far this postseason.
The Bucks lead the series 2-1.
