New Wizards star Trae Young receives excitement from CJ McCollum and Bijan Robinson when unveiling his new jersey.

Trae Young is now with the Washington Wizards and had his introduction press conference before the game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Overall, it was a good

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.

Kyshawn George is one of several young Wizards who could benefit from the Trae Young trade, and he explained how after their Pelicans loss.

The other Wizard that I see benefiting the most from Young’s presence is rookie guard Tre Johnson. Much can already be said about Johnson’s rookie campaign, as the 19-year-old has proven to be one of the best shooters in the NBA already, despite still finding his footing.

Trae Young, headed to Washington via trade, ends a nearly 8-season run in Atlanta with 4 All-Star appearances and a thrilling trip to the conference finals.

Washington is in the midst of a major rebuild and needs star power, and the four-time All-Star might just fit the bill. The revamped Hawks are looking better with Jalen Johnson as the front man.

Phoenix will again be without Jalen Green as he continues to heal a hamstring strain (more on him below) while Jamaree Bouyea (concussion) is also out. Jordan Goodwin is still dealing with a jaw sprain but is good to go.
