Trae Young was nearly a San Antonio Spur. NBA insider Chris Haynes said Thursday that San Antonio mulled a trade for the star Hawks point guard before their blockbuster deal for De’Aaron Fox this week.

NBA rumors suggest the San Antonio Spurs considered trading for Trae Young before De’Aaron Fox 'fell in their lap.'

In the first game of the Victor Wembanyama and De'Aaron Fox era, the San Antonio Spurs beat the Atlanta Hawks, 126-125. The Spurs led by as many as 20 points in the second half before allowing the Hawks to come back, but a savvy intentional missed free throw in the final seconds by Victor Wembanyama was enough for the Spurs to eke out a narrow win.
