His first recorded stat with the team turned out to be an ejection during their home loss to the Houston Rockets on Monday night. The Atlanta Hawks traded him to Washington recently, but he has not suited up for a game yet. The drama unfolded in the third quarter when Rockets forward. Trey Eason shoved Wizards guard Jameer Watkins to the ground with no immediate call. Tensions boiled over on the other end, leading to a scuffle that required separating the teams. Officials hit four players with technical fows, including Young, who rushed onto the court to defend his teammate. Young took it in stride on social media, joking that fans should not expect many more ejections in DC, but promising to bring energy and competitiveness for his new squad. This move likely earned him quick respect in the Wizards locker room, showing loyalty before his debut.

1:00This is not Young's first brush with officials. Last season with Atlanta, he got tossed in a playing game against Orlando for throwing and kicking the ball, which rest called making a mockery of the game. Young's actual Wizards debut is set for Thursday, where fans will finally see him contribute points and assists instead of just technicals. A message from our sponsor supports today's story.
