Season likely finished
Young (quadriceps, back) isn't expected to play again in 2025-26, per Chase Hughes of Monumental Sports Network.
Analysis
Young last appeared for the Wizards during the March 16 loss to the Warriors, and it sounds like Washington is finally ready to pull the plug on his campaign. It was an injury-ruined season for the star guard, who averaged 17.9 points, 8.0 assists, 2.0 rebounds and 1.8 three-pointers in 25.6 minutes per game over 15 outings with Atlanta and Washington. Bub Carrington should continue to serve as the Wizards' top point guard the rest of the way.

Still out for Tuesday
Young (quadriceps/back) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Bulls.
Analysis
Young hasn't played since March 16 and will miss a 12th straight game while dealing with a right quadriceps contusion and lower-back pain. The star point guard should be considered doubtful for future contests until the Wizards provide an update on his status. However, it wouldn't be surprising if he doesn't play again this season, as Washington has just three regular-season games remaining after Tuesday.

Still out Sunday
Young (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Nets.
Analysis
Young hasn't played since March 16, and while the Wizards continue to treat him as day-to-day, it'd be surprising if the veteran point guard suited up during the final week of the regular season. In his absence, Bub Carrington, Jaden Hardy and Sharife Cooper remain candidates for increased roles.

Won't play Saturday
Young (quadriceps) is out for Saturday's game versus Miami.
Analysis
The star guard will be sidelined for a 10th consecutive game Saturday. With a lost regular season winding down for the Wizards, it's becoming increasingly more unlikely that Young will suit up again this year.
