Will not play Tuesday
Young (rest) will not play Tuesday against the Heat.
Analysis
After playing an average of 18.5 minutes over his first two appearances for Washington, Young will get a maintenance day related to his right knee. Presumably, he'll be back in action Thursday against Orlando. Bub Carrington and Tre Johnson will likely take on more responsibility with this news.

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.
Analysis
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.
Analysis
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.
