Limited impact in Wizards debut
Young posted 12 points (4-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-6 FT), two rebounds, six assists and two steals across 19 minutes during Thursday's 122-112 loss to Utah.
Analyse
Young played with the Wizards for the first time in his career, and while his stat line could've been better had he played more, he was limited to a mere 19 minutes. Young struggled with his shot from three-point range, but some rust was expected given this was his first game since Dec. 27 and only his 11th game in the current campaign. Young is expected to remain in the starting lineup for upcoming games, though he's likely to continue playing under a minutes restriction.

Removed from injury report
Young (knee/quadriceps) is off the injury report for Thursday's game against the Jazz.
Analyse
The stage is officially set for the star guard to make his much-awaited Wizards debut Thursday. Young has been out since Dec. 27 with a right knee MCL sprain and a right quadriceps contusion, and he's slated for a restriction of 17-to-20 minutes, per Josh Robbins of The Athletic. Young's return is likely to lead to Bub Carrington heading to the bench Thursday.

Set to make team debut Thursday
Young (knee/quadriceps) will make his Wizards debut in Thursday's game against the Jazz, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Analyse
Though Young will remain out for Monday's tilt against the Rockets and Tuesday's matchup against the Magic, he's on track to make his highly-anticipated team debut later this week. Prior to being traded to the Wizards, Young made his final appearance with the Hawks on Dec. 27 before being shut down due to a right knee MCL sprain and a right quadriceps contusion. Because Young has been out for a lengthy period of time, head coach Brian Keefe confirmed that the 27-year-old would have a restriction of between 17-to-20 minutes in his Wizards debut, per Josh Robbins of The Athletic. Young's return will likely result in Bub Carrington moving to the bench Thursday.

Remains out for Monday
Young (knee/quadriceps) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Rockets.
Analyse
Young continues to rehab from right knee and quadriceps injuries and is expected to be re-evaluated in the near future. The star point guard can be considered doubtful for future contests until Washington offers an update on his progress. His next opportunity to suit up will come Tuesday versus Orlando.
