Trae Young will miss a second straight game due to a right ankle sprain as the point guard is listed as out for the Hawks game Monday at the Magic, according to the team injury report.

Young suffered the ankle injury in the second quarter of Friday's home loss to the Bucks. He did not travel with the team for Saturday's loss at the Bulls.

Young missed one game earlier this season with a right ankle sprain.

Young is fourth in the NBA in points per game at 28.5 and fifth in assists per game at 8.3. The Hawks have lost 10 straight games.

In addition, the Hawks injury report lists Alex Len (left ankle sprain) and Evan Turner (right hamstring strain) as probable and Jabari Parker (right shoulder impingement) as out.
