After the Wizards saw themselves on the other side of history after Bam Adebayo's unthinkable 83-point performance, Young dropped a major statement to those who continue to heckle his team.
“People can laugh about us now,” Young told Josh Robbins of The Athletic. “In the future, I don’t think people are going to be laughing about us.”
Washington endured criticisms and mockery from many after allowing the Miami Heat star to explode for an all-time performance.
Severely shorthanded and already having nothing to fight for this season, the young Wizards group couldn't contain Adebayo's attacks and eventual clinching of the historic mark.
Indeed, the Wizards will be one of the most anticipated teams heading to the next 2026-27 season. After making major trade moves to acquire Young and Anthony Davis, D.C. is now determined to take the next step and finally be in the mix for contention.
And with the continuing growth of their young talents, such as Alex Sarr and Kyshawn George, the future will definitely be bright in Washington.
