Washington Wizards star Trae Young is set to make his team debut on Thursday at home against the Utah Jazz, according to Shams Charania of ESPN.
The Wizards acquired Young from the Atlanta Hawks in a January trade that sent guard/forward Corey Kispert and guard CJ McCollum to Atlanta.
Young has not played for Washington yet as he has been rehabbing from right knee and quadriceps injuries.
Standing 6-foot-2 and weighing 164 pounds, Young has appeared in 493 career games – all starts – over eight seasons with the Hawks.
The fifth overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft, he averages 25.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 9.8 assists per game, shooting .432 from the field and .351 from three-point range.
The 27-year-old is a four-time All-Star (2020, 2022, 2024, 2025), earned All-NBA Third Team honors in 2021-22, and was a first-team All-Rookie selection in 2018-19.
