Shams Charania reports that Young will be re-evaluated after the mid-February All-Star break. The Wizards are taking a cautious approach with their new trade acquisition, hoping to avoid any setbacks.
Young has played only 10 games this season due to injuries, but he is still putting up strong numbers when on the floor, averaging 19.3 points and 8.9 assists per game.
In his absence, Bub Carrington and Tre Johnson are expected to handle more of the point guard duties for Washington, giving the team some options at the position while Young recovers.
Young is on a five-year, $215 million max contract and has a player option of $49 million for next season, making his long-term health a key factor for the Wizards moving forward.
