Trae Young, acquired by the Washington Wizards in January, was ejected from the team's 123-118 loss to the Houston Rockets. Young left the bench to argue with an official during a confrontation between players. This incident occurred as Young has yet to play a game for the Wizards due to injuries since his trade from the Atlanta Hawks.
Young expressed on X, "Don’t expect me to get ejected too many more times D.C., but I’m definitely bringing that energy & competitiveness when I’m back for my brothers!" His debut for the Wizards is expected soon, with coach Brian Keefe indicating readiness for Thursday's game against the Utah Jazz. Young had been sidelined with knee and quadriceps injuries. Prior to the trade, he played 10 games for the Atlanta Hawks, averaging 19.3 points and 8.9 assists.
