Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young has again embraced the role of New York’s top basketball villain. According to a report published Saturday, the two-time All-Star tried to rip the jersey of Knicks guard Jalen Brunson, reviving memories of his 2021 playoff theatrics at Madison Square Garden.
The brief confrontation was accompanied by Young replaying highlights from that 2021 first-round series, when his late-game heroics and on-court taunts helped Atlanta eliminate New York in five games. Those moments cemented his status as a target of Knicks fans, who showered him with boos throughout the series.
Details on where and when the latest incident occurred were not immediately available, but the gesture underscored the continuing tension between Young and the Knicks franchise. Neither Young nor Brunson has publicly commented on the exchange.
