Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young has been cleared from the concussion protocol and will be available to play in Friday night's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Young suffered a concussion after being elbowed in the face during a game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Young, who leads the Hawks with an average of 26.9 points per game, has missed the past two games due to the injury. His return will provide a much-needed boost for the Hawks, who are looking to snap a three-game losing streak.

On the other side, the Mavericks will be without guard Kyrie Irving, who has been ruled out with a sprained right thumb. Irving suffered the injury in a game against the Boston Celtics earlier in the week.

The game between the Hawks and Mavericks will be the first meeting of the season for the two teams. The Hawks have a record of 8-12 at home, while the Mavericks are 11-9 on the road.

With Young back in the lineup, the Hawks will be hoping to get back on track and secure a victory against the Mavericks. It will be interesting to see how Young performs after his return from the concussion and if he can make an impact on the game.
