Adam Silver Has New Problem to Solve After Trae Young’s Summer League Statement

2 min read

Trae Young might not be playing in the Summer League, but he’s definitely keeping things entertaining from the sidelines. While watching the Hawks face off against the Suns, the All-Star guard made a casual, slightly hilarious observation that quickly went viral. “I mean, you look around the whole gym, they can go from one court to another and see a whole bunch of NBA players walking around. Security’s a little loose around here. They [the fans] can really touch us,” Young said, flashing that signature smirk.

On the surface, Trae’s comment felt like half joke and half warning. And just like that, another issue lands on Adam Silver’s already overflowing plate. From concerns over the three-point revolution to slipping TV ratings and constant expansion talk, the commissioner’s been juggling it all. But to be fair, Silver’s always welcomed the noise. “I’m not one of those people who said I don’t read criticism,” he once admitted. So maybe, just maybe, Trae’s courtside observation doesn’t fall on deaf ears.

“Security’s a little loose around here. [The fans] can really touch us.”
