After the misery was finished, a fan exiting MSG huffed, “I can’t believe we paid for that.”
Another fan in the concourse shrugged at his friend, “At least we got to see Trae Young in those goofy glasses.”
It was that kind of letdown Wednesday night

Trae Young said he doesn’t think his eye will bother him going forward. He told us that he had scratch on his eyelid. – 10:22 PM
Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
Trae Young says he “can’t see out of his (left) eye too well,” after getting hit in the eye in the second half of tonight’s win. Young didn’t take a shot after checking back in during the fourth quarter. – 10:19 PM

If I can read lips, as Trae exited the game, he reacted to a taunting Knick fan with a smile and the quip, ‘I’ve got one eye, man.” – 9:52 PM
Kevin Chouinard @KLChouinard
Trae needs to know that if he bows, those 👓 might fall off. – 9:40 PM
Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
The Hawks say Trae Young has been cleared to return to the game. He just jumped up to celebrate that last defensive play, and now is checking into the game wearing protective eyewear. – 9:32 PM

Trae Young is coming in and he’s wearing goggles. – 9:32 PM

Trae has been cleared to return, per Hawks PR. – 9:32 PM

Trae Young has returned from the locker room. He’s on the Hawks’ bench. – 9:32 PM
Mike Vorkunov @MikeVorkunov
Cam Reddish leaves the strongside shooter in the corner alone and Justin Holiday nails the 3. Hawks are +11 since Trae Young went out. Inexplicable waste of an opportunity by the Knicks. – 9:18 PM

The Hawks say Trae Young is questionable to return with a left eye contusion tonight. – 9:16 PM

Trae Young is still down on the court after what looked like a pretty tough hit to the face. – 9:02 PM

Trae Young is walking back to Atlanta’s locker room with a towel over his face after it appeared he got hit by Julius Randle. – 9:02 PM

What once was a 23-point Knicks lead has now been erased as Trae Young has moved the Hawks into a 66-65 lead. It is now a 38-14 run over the last 10 minutes of game action for Atlanta. – 8:58 PM
Steve Popper @StevePopper
So about that 23-point Knicks lead…9-0 run to start the second half and 3:07 in the Hawks lead 66-65 on a Trae Young layup. – 8:57 PM

Knicks were up 23 — it’s down to six now thanks to Dejounte Murray (23 points) and Trae Young starting to heat up after a terrible start. – 8:38 PM
Rob Perez @WorldWideWob
Knicks going out of their way to make Trae finish at the rim with his left, the one thing they did during their playoff series that actually worked, and he smokes back-to-back layups to end the first here tonight. Still his achilles heel two years later. – 8:11 PM
Tommy Beer @TommyBeer
Knicks played well in the first quarter. Lead the Hawks by 11
Trae Young is 2-for-12 – 8:09 PM
Stefan Bondy @SBondyNYDN
Rough start for Trae Young. He’s shooting 2-for-11.
Knicks 32-Hawks 21 – 8:08 PM

These are sensitive days — so maybe not the best time for Trae to arrive at MSG. No spitting, no profanity…let’s see how that goes. – 7:33 PM

Thing I’ll be watching tonight: How does Thibs deploy Grimes in his first game back? Grimes did a good job on Trae Young last year. Is he the first guy off the bench to maximize minutes against Trae? – 7:08 PM

More on this storyline

Lauren L. Williams: Nate McMillan said that Trae Young came in for practice today but that he left early for an eye doctors appointment. He said that he hasn’t gotten any indication on whether Young needs any further procedures and today’s visit as far as he knew was a follow up. -via Twitter @WilliamsLaurenL / November 4, 2022
Atlanta Hawks star  Trae Young briefly left Wednesday’s 112-99 win over the Knicks after being scratched in his left eye but said the injury shouldn’t cause him to miss any time. “I think I’ll be able to play through it,” Young said after finishing with 17 points, six rebounds and six assists in Atlanta’s victory. “It’s more just letting the swelling go down. But I’ll be able to play through it. Our next game is Saturday, so thankfully we get a couple days for it to kind of get better. I’ll probably have to wear goggles or glasses for some games, but it’ll be all right.” -via ESPN / November 3, 2022
“I can’t really see out of one eye really too well, but I can see a little bit,” said Young, who wore sunglasses to his postgame news conference. “I’m feeling all right. I’m feeling good.” Young admitted the eye kept him from wanting to shoot the ball but said he wanted to make sure he was out there to help his teammates, even in a compromised state. -via ESPN / November 3, 2022
