Trae Young will not play for the Washington Wizards against the Phoenix Suns as he continues to recover from a sprained MCL.
Trae Young will not make his Washington Wizards debut tonight. The Wizards confirmed that the star guard is out against the Phoenix Suns as he continues to recover from a sprained MCL.
Washington Wizards / Schedule
Young arrived in Washington in a midseason trade that ended his long run with the Atlanta Hawks.
The move created a lot of noise around the league, with many players sharing their thoughts. Since then, the focus has shifted to when Young can finally step on the floor in a Wizards jersey.
That moment will have to wait. Young has been sidelined for weeks and has played only ten games this season. The knee injury has slowed his return, keeping him away from game action as Washington looks for stability in the backcourt.
The Wizards' injury list remains long. Along with Young, the team will also be without Cam Whitmore due to a right shoulder issue, as well as Jamir Watkins and Sharife Cooper.
Before the injury, the guard averaged 19.5 points per game. His shooting numbers dropped as well, hitting 41.5% from the field and 30.5% from three.
