Trae Young Out with Quad Injury, Embraces Wizards Future & Contract Talks

Recently traded to the Washington Wizards, Trae Young was sidelined for Friday's game against the Pelicans due to a quadriceps injury, with the team taking a cautious approach. He also missed 23 games earlier this season with an MCL sprain. Young, introduced to the home crowd, publicly embraced a fresh start, stating, "I hope I'm a piece of this puzzle on the way up with it." The Wizards are reportedly considering a contract extension for Young, who has a $49 million player option next season, with his full impact largely anticipated next season. He will wear No. 3 for the Wizards.
