Set to miss at least one month
Young (knee, quadriceps) will be re-evaluated following the mid-February All-Star break, Shams Charania of ESPN reports Wednesday.
Analisi
The Wizards are erring on the side of caution with their new acquisition as he deals with MCL and quadriceps injuries in his right knee. The timeline for a return likely means Young won't make his team debut for at least another month. With Young sidelined, Tre Johnson and Bub Carrington should continue to push for minutes near the 30s.

Won't play Wednesday
Young (quad) is out for Wednesday's game against the Clippers.
Analisi
If the Wizards' pick falls outside the top eight in 2026 NBA Draft, they will concede that selection to the Knicks, so they may be incentivizing losing as many games as possible this season. This will likely translate to lots of time on the sidelines for Young, and the Wizards have already acknowledged they're in no rush to bring him back from the quad injury. With Washington's next two games coming as a Friday-Saturday, back-to-back set, it's unlikely Young will be cleared by Friday.

Won't suit up Sunday
Young (quadriceps/knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Suns.
Analisi
Young is still dealing with a right quadriceps contusion and is without a timetable for a return. The star point guard should be considered doubtful to make his Wizards debut against the Clippers on Wednesday. In the meantime, Bub Carrington, Malaki Branham and AJ Johnson are candidates for increased playing time.

Listed out for Friday
Young (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Wizards.
Analisi
Though Washington's acquisition of Young became official earlier Friday, the star point guard won't be ready to make his Wizards debut while he continues to recover from a right quad bruise, which kept him sidelined for the Hawks' last seven games before he was traded. According to Michael Scotto of USA Today, the Wizards intend to take a cautious approach with Young as he recovers from the quad issue as well as a prior MCL sprain, so the 27-year-old could be at risk of missing additional time beyond Friday before he returns to the court.
