- On Thursday, Trae Young, Washington Wizards guard, is set to debut against the Utah Jazz in Washington, D.C., with coach Brian Keefe limiting him to 17-20 minutes.
- After being acquired from the Atlanta Hawks in January, Trae Young missed over two months with an MCL sprain and thigh/quad injuries before ramping up after the NBA All-Star break.
