Trae Young’s debut with the Washington Wizards is delayed due to ongoing recovery from MCL and quad injuries, with no evaluation scheduled until after the All-Star break in mid-February. Acquired from the Atlanta Hawks in a trade, Young has played just 10 games this season, averaging 19.3 points and 8.9 assists. The Wizards, currently struggling with a 10-28 record, are cautious about his return to ensure he is fully healthy. Young is in the fourth year of a five-year, $215 million deal and has a player option for next season.
