  • Trae Young PG | WAS

    Wizards' Trae Young: Exits early Monday

    Young (quadriceps) has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's game against the Warriors. He'll close with 21 points (7-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five assists, two rebounds, one steal and one block across 21 minutes.

    After a collision with Will Richard, Young hobbled off to the locker room at the 7:53 mark of the third quarter. The guard was able to walk off under his own power but will not return to Monday's contest due to a right quad contusion. His next chance to play will come Tuesday against the Pistons, though it's unlikely the 27-year-old suits up for the second half of the back-to-back.

Dorian Finney-Smith and Jeff Green figure to serve as small-ball backups to Capela at center Monday.
