NBA star Trae Young reacts to the Warriors-Lakers game

On Tuesday evening, the Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Lakers play a preseason game in Las Vegas.

Buddy Hield is entering his first year playing for the Warriors and has looked like an excellent fit during his preseason minutes.

During Tuesday’s game, Atlanta Hawks superstar Trae Young sent one publication about Hield.

His post got over 2,000 likes and 60,000 impressions within two hours.

Young wrote, “Buddy fits right in with the Warriors!”

In last week’s 122-109 win over the Sacramento Kings, Hield had 22 points while shooting 8-of-9 from the field in 19 minutes off the bench.

Hield is coming off a season where he played for the Indiana Pacers and the Philadelphia 76ers.

He finished the year averaging 12.1 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game while shooting 43.6 percent from the field and 38.6 percent from three-point range in 84 matches.

The former Oklahoma star has always been an excellent shooter, which is why he is such an intriguing addition to the Warriors.

The Warriors will play their first game of the 2024-25 regular season when they visit the Portland Trail Blazers on Oct. 23 in Oregon.

He’s in his seventh NBA season (all with the Hawks).
