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.

Young (knee/quadriceps) will make his Wizards debut in Thursday's game against the Jazz, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Although Young is out for Monday's tilt against the Rockets and Tuesday's matchup against the Magic, he's on the cusp of making his highly-anticipated team debut. The star guard is set to make his first appearance since Dec. 27, when he was a member of the Hawks, and Washington will have a minutes restriction in place for Young, as coach Brian Keefe noted the point guard will log between 17-to-20 minutes, per Josh Robbins of The Athletic. Over 10 appearances for Atlanta, Young has averaged 19.3 points, 8.9 assists, 1.5 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 28.0 minutes per game and is likely to push Bub Carrington to the bench upon his return.

Young (knee/quadriceps) will be re-evaluated in one week, per NBA reporter Marc Stein.
EDGE Analysis
The star guard is ramping up his on-court activities during his recovery from a right knee MCL sprain and right quadriceps contusion, but his Wizards debut isn't imminent. Until Young is finally ready to suit up again, Bub Carrington and Tre Johnson should continue to see a boost in ball-handling responsibilities on the other side of the All-Star break.

Young (knee, quadriceps) still hasn't been cleared for contact, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
It doesn't sound like Young's Wizards debut is imminent. Until the star guard makes more progress in his recovery from a right knee MCL sprain and a right quadriceps contusion, he can be considered week-to-week. Bub Carrington and Tre Johnson should remain worthwhile streaming candidates in most fantasy leagues out of the All-Star break.

Young (knee, quadriceps) will be re-evaluated following the mid-February All-Star break, Shams Charania of ESPN reports Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Young (quad) is out for Wednesday's game against the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Young (quadriceps/knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Young (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Wizards.
EDGE Analysis
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.
