Trae Young's Wizards Debut: Rusty but Promising

0:00From NBA coverage, this is your March 6th update. Washington Wizards fans waited two months to see Trey Young suit up for his new team after a trade from the Atlanta Hawks. The four-time All-Star had only played in 10 games this season before injury sidelined him, including an MCL sprain and a quad contusion. Earlier this week, the Wizards cleared him to return against the Utah Jazz, right after the All-Star break. In his debut, Young scored 12 points on four of nine shooting during a 122 to 112 loss. He felt anxious and rusty, like his rookie days, after months away from game action. His presence alone shifted the defense. Upon its guarded him tightly beyond the three-point line, creating space for his teammates even without his usual sharp shooting. With a 17-20-minute limit per night, more reps should help him regain his rhythm. Young in the fans are optimistic about building something special, moving forward.
