Trae Young set to debut with Wizards on Thursday, according to sources.
Washington Wizards star Trae Young is set to make his debut for the team on Thursday night at home against the Utah Jazz, according to sources cited by ESPN’s Shams Charania.
Young shared a video on Instagram showing him training in Wizards apparel, accompanied by the caption “March 5th”.
Since being traded to Washington from Atlanta on January 7, Young has yet to take the court for the Wizards.
Thursday’s matchup will mark Young’s first game since December 27, as he has been recovering from MCL and quad injuries in his right leg.
A four-time All-Star, Young is currently averaging 19.3 points and 8.9 assists over 10 games this season.
With a record of 16-43, the Wizards are well into a rebuilding phase, but they are optimistic that the mid-season additions of Young and Anthony Davis will aid the franchise’s recovery in the long term. Davis, who was traded to Washington from the Dallas Mavericks on February 4, has yet to make his debut with the Wizards.
