Young has been limited this season due to MCL and quad issues on the same leg.
Despite missing significant time, Young has been productive when on the floor. In just 10 games this season, he is averaging 19.3 points and 8.9 assists per game.
Young's health is particularly important given his contract situation. He is on a five-year, $215 million max deal with a $49 million player option next season, meaning his availability will play a key role in the Wizards' short- and long-term plans.
The Wizards have emphasized patience with Young's recovery, aiming to ensure he returns fully healthy rather than rushing him back for immediate impact.
